Counterintelligence Seminar

Counterintelligence Seminar
Understanding the Espionage Threat through an Examination of Major Spy Cases

This program is presented by the Eastern Management Development Center in partnership with The Center for Human Reliability Studies, Oak Ridge Associated Universities.
The conviction of FBI agent Robert Phillip Hanssen, who admitted spying for the Soviets for over 15 years, is one of a series of espionage cases that has been uncovered since the end of the Cold War. Modern espionage is not limited to military and other Government intelligence secrets. In 1996, Congress passed the Economic Espionage Act to address the increasing problem of foreign governments and major corporations targeting the American Government and proprietary information of value. In addition to an expansion in the types of organizations targeted for espionage, there have been new developments in the tradecraft used, including extensive use of the Internet for espionage and information warfare activities.
During this five-day program, participants have an opportunity to discuss the major spy cases of the past decade with experts from the intelligence and counterintelligence community. Cases to be covered include Walker, Ames, Trofimoff, Hanssen, and Montes. The motivation of espionage agents in each case is discussed and assessed, and unclassified details of their detection and the investigation into each case are presented. The class discussion also examines and analyzes video interviews with the convicted agents and training segments prepared for selected cases.

Do you really want to be a homicide detective?

Maybe I was different, but I joined up to drive around in the black and white car and fight crime. These days, it seems, my students all want to be homicide investigators; or, they are under the mistaken belief that crime scene technicians carry guns and investigate crimes. So, do you want to be a homicide investigator? Take the first test – watch the National Medical Laboratories autopsy videos!

Street Gangs: The New Urban Insurgency

The primary thrust of this monograph is to explain the linkage of contemporary criminal street gangs (that is, the gang phenomenon or third generation gangs) to insurgency in terms of the instability it wreaks upon government and the concomitant challenge to state sovereignty. Although there are differences between gangs and insurgents regarding motives and modes of operations, this linkage infers that gang phenomena are mutated forms of urban insurgency. In these terms, these "new" nonstate actors must eventually seize political power in order to guarantee the freedom of action and the commercial environment they want. The common denominator that clearly links the gang phenomenon to insurgency is that the third generation gangs' and insurgents' ultimate objective is to depose or control the governments of targeted countries. As a consequence, the "Duck Analogy" applies. Third generation gangs look like ducks, walk like ducks, and act like ducks—a peculiar breed, but ducks nevertheless! This monograph concludes with recommendations for the United States and other countries to focus security and assistance responses at the strategic level. The intent is to help leaders achieve strategic clarity and operate more effectively in the complex politically dominated, contemporary global security arena.
