Students will present a paper that is a review of the attached article, Homeland Security and Public Policing. The intent of the paper is to deepen student knowledge and perspective of changes in society in a Post 911 era where the private sector, municipalities and government agencies collaborate to secure society and their economies from domestic and international threats. Students will discuss in their paper the nature of terrorism, key principles of community policing and the purpose and necessity for the partnership of local community policing and federal agencies. The conclusion of week 3 paper should clearly articulate the risk of the absence of sound and proactive security measures, and conversely, the dangers of a looming police state evolved through fear and anxiety.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY  1-2 pages
Provide an annotated bibliography for your final research paper. The annotated bibliography should include at least 5-8 scholarly sources (books or academic articles), of which no less than 3 should be relevant primary sources. Note: primary sources are not held to the same academic standards as secondary sources since things like peer review are relatively recent innovations.
Each annotation should:
-Summarize the argument of the source you’ve chosen.
-Explain how the source fits into your broader argument/supports your research on the topic in question.
A good annotation can do all of this in two concise but thorough sentences. You can write longer annotations if necessary but aim for thorough and concise in any case.

RESEARCH PAPER
TOPIC: The Political Thought of Fredrick Douglas
Focus on:
his view of government,
his views on the constitution
his thoughts on achieving racial equality

Write a research paper (10-13 pages) on a topic relevant to American Political Thought (see the topic guidelines in week 2). Paper guidelines are as follows:
-Outside scholarly research is expected; the requirements for the annotated bibliography are the minimum expected.
-All citations are to be in proper APA format.
-A logical outline for the paper would be: introduce the topic; explain historical and philosophical context; present your hypothesis; supporting evidence; counter-arguments; rebuttal to counter-arguments (why you’re right and they’re wrong); concluding remarks on the impact of your topic on American politics.
-Don’t try picking a position on a topic you think the professor will support: a well-argued paper with which I disagree will get a higher grade than a paper with which I agree that makes flawed arguments. That said, you are free to try and make a normative, persuasive case.
-Substantive engagement with a Judeo-Christian world view, in keeping with the faith statement and mission of This University, is highly desired. Even if you do not share the institution’s particular world view, your paper will be strengthened if you engage it in a substantive manner.
