In the 21st century, the world as we know it suffers from psychotic, demented, treacherous and, sophisticated crimes.

The FBI researches shocking and concerning crimes the news reports about politics, war and, safety that we hear on the television about issues that are being reported to the people. These cases of transgression are missions the FBI analyzes, such as hacking information from double spies, locating terrorists, seeking pedophiles, cracking down unknown mobsters, gang leaders and serial killers, white-collar crime, public corruption, cyber-crime, counter intelligence and civil rights. To pursue these law-breaking offenders a lackadaisical spirit is not present because this bureau of investigation wants to protect the people and their rights—with their lives at hand. They have a system for those who try to abuse the people and who act erroneously with their rights are put on the “Most Wanted” list, a list that contains people who violated the law to the extent of major penalties. This list was established so the people know who the FBI are trying to catch and, money is always included if a citizen captures or leaks information the FBI needs about the location of a most wanted person. The FBI is a well-structured organization that seeks justice for all citizens. The FBI is an organization that takes pride in how they conduct their mission. John E.

    The FBI’s position on Carnivore is outlined in Donald M. Kerr’s congressional statement made before a Senate committee that was reviewing the FBI’s Carnivore system. As the Assistant Director of the Laboratory Division for the FBI, Kerr has extensive knowledge of the workings and capabilities of the Carnivore system. In his statement, Kerr makes five points ranging from what Carnivore is to why the public should trust the FBI with Carnivore. Kerr explains that because terrorists, spies, hackers, and criminals used computers and the Internet, the FBI needs a tool like Carnivore to counter them. Another reason the FBI feels that they need Carnivore is to combat information warfare, fraud, and the spread of child pornography on the Internet. Logos in the form of statistics and examples is used to show that there has been an increased use of the Internet for criminal activity.

    History of the FBI The Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded in 1908 when the Attorney General appointed an anonymous force of 34 Special Agents to be investigators for the Department of Justice. Before that, the DOJ had to borrow agents from the U.S. Secret Service. In 1909, the Special Agent Force was renamed the Bureau of Investigation, and after countless name changes, it became The Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935. When the FBI was established, there weren't an abundance of federal crimes, so it investigated criminal acts that dealt with national banking, bankruptcy, naturalization, antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. In June of 1910, the FBI grew larger because of the "Mann Act" (Made it a crime to transport women to other states for immoral reasons).

    To begin with, the ever-changing heterogeneous population, as well as the continually shifting political environment of the United States presents its own set of complications. Moreover, local law enforcement agencies each develop their own interpretations of terrorism, which can be even further confused by political interest groups and federal agencies. As a result, there are many definitions of terrorism and no single accepted understanding. Some law enforcement agencies are very prepared to deal with terrorism, while others are not. Lastly, law enforcement agencies must navigate through the complicated layers of competing state and federal bureaucracies. Despite these many complications, however, there are some advantages to an improved understanding of terrorism. Since state and federal agencies are increasingly cooperating with one another, there has been a growth in law enforcement’s improved criminal intelligence collecting techniques and the way criminal intelligence is
