State level Homeland Security Comparison
Step1. Choose 3 U.S. states (e.g. “Florida, Ohio and Massachusetts”) and write a comparative analysis about
the similarities and differences reflected in their homeland security strategies, state-level emergency response
plans, organizations and initiatives. Specific questions to consider addressing in this paper include: Are their
strategies clear and comprehensive, and how do their organizational structures compare? How do they
prepare their citizens for responding effectively following a crisis? Do any of them focus adequately on
resilience? What kinds of challenges are they addressing (and how) in areas of border, aviation, maritime,
critical infrastructure, agriculture, cyber, public transportation and other security areas we cover in this course?
What deficiencies and significant challenges do you see? Finally, based on your analysis, what lessons can be
drawn for U.S. homeland security professionals nationwide, and why? I would like to chose Massachusetts,
New York, and Florida if possible. Atleast please use Massachusetts as one of the states. Step 2.Collect and
read some good quality research (books, peer-reviewed journal articles, government reports and websites,
official statements, Congressional hearing testimony, think tank and private sector reports, etc.) about the topic
you have chosen. Whichever type of paper topic you choose to address, you must include specific facts and
data (for example, the length of borders to secure; the number of maritime ports or airports; population size;
industrial locations with hazardous chemicals; estimated number of specific critical infrastructure targets;
number of laboratories and/or medical facilities with potentially harmful biological pathogens; the average
number of daily passengers using public transportation; the number and size of nuclear power plants, and the
people who depend on them for their electricity; etc.). Having these kinds of facts helps conduct a more
thorough comparative analysis. Please note, there are a number of quality resources available to you on the
CRIM.5740 course website, but these should just serve as a starting point. Also, do not cite course lecture
notes, Wikipedia, Encyclopedia.com, Dictionary.com, History.com or other basic low-level information sources.
You must provide (and cite appropriately) a minimum of 10 peer- reviewed/quality research-based sources for
your paper.
