The Federal Bureau of Investigations was initially a group of secret agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte. Bonaparte created the FBI under direction of 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt. For the first couple of years, the amount of federal crimes was very low. The Bureau spent most of their time investigating things such as national banking, bankruptcy, naturalization, antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. In June of 1910, the FBI grew larger because the Mann Act. The Mann Act made it a crime to transport women to other states for immoral reasons such as what would be labeled as prostitution in modern terms. The FBI could now prosecute people who tried to flee over states lines. Because of its continued worth and effectiveness, the FBI 's number grew to over 300 special agents and 300 support employees over the next few years.

Officials with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration say that the number of indoor marijuana plants in California has quadrupled in the last three years. Many of these plants have occurred in middle-class and upper-class suburbs. Buyers have bought homes here because the financing of these homes are cheap. They have been remodeled to build farms which are built indoors. These indoor pot operation uses sophisticated irrigation, ventilation and lighting. This structure can contain 1,800 plants. This marijuana boom has brought in more than $100 million worth of pot last year. These homes were transformed into illicit greenhouses with blacked-out windows, sophisticated irrigation, high powered and timed lighting and ventilation devices to

I have chosen to research and write about to the Oro Valley Police Department in Oro Valley, Arizona and the Federal agency called the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). I will explain the history of each agency, where these agencies have their jurisdiction, the types of crimes they investigate and describe the similarities and differences between the Oro Valley Police Department in Oro Valley, Arizona and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the United States of America domestic security and intelligence which also serves as the federal government’s law enforcement agency. Working under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI simultaneously considered as part of the US intelligence community, comprises of many other federal and state agencies and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. The agency performs a leading role in counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and criminal investigative roles making it have jurisdictions of over 200 categories of federal crime.

Today, the U.S contains five percent of the world 's population and it holds twenty-five percent of the world 's prisoners. Approximately one out of every four prisoners on the planet is in a U.S prison. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) makes over 30,000 arrests each year related to the sales and distribution of illegal narcotics. In 1986 the Anti-Drug Abuse act set the 5 and 50 gram quantities for crack cocaine which triggered the five and ten year mandatory minimum jail sentence for crack cocaine. This created a conflict with the ratio from crack to powder cocaine because it was 100:1 meaning a person caught with crack cocaine would be more likely to serve longer jail time than a person caught with powder cocaine. The unfair ratio would get a person caught with 5 grams of crack cocaine the same amount of jail time as a person who is caught with 28 grams of powder cocaine. An issue seen around the country is that people of minority are treated unfair under the law. Not only are people being treated unequally under the law but we are adding to the issue of mass incarceration. The Fair Sentencing Act, which will reduce the amount of people who are sentenced to prison for crack and powder cocaine is beneficial because prisons have become so overcrowded and so many people have been sentenced to jail unfairly and are serving ridiculous sentences for nonviolent drug offenses.

The Mexican Mafia, or “La Eme”, as they refer to themselves, is one of the most powerful and influential organized crime gangs in the United States. The organization has risen through the decades of mass gang wars and violence to become the power it is today. Their control is limitless and they have ventured far beyond the expectations of what was thought that gangs were capable of. They have infiltrated governments and manipulated politics. They have taken over neighborhoods and attempted to ethnically cleanse them. Innocent people have become caught up in the affairs of La Eme throughout its history and many have faced violence and death at their hands. This paper is a continual of the case analysis of the Mexican Mafia and will attempt to provide explanations for some of the crimes committed by this organization. Researching gangs and organized crime is important because of their large influence and control over many aspects of daily life. The significance of attempting to provide causations of their crimes can better provide the criminal justice system a clearer understanding of problems that lead to gang members committing crimes on behalf of the organization. A clearer understanding of problems can help the system to provide solutions to combat situations that inhibit crimes.

Pablo had such an impact on western history that he is the subject in a new popular Netflix series, entitled “Narcos.” This series does an excellent job of enticing viewers into watching the portrayal of the chase to catch Escobar in a stimulating and theatrical way. This show also provides historically accurate and general information about drug cartels in the 1990’s.

During the early 1990’s Colombia being one of the biggest exporters of narcotics in history, led by Pablo Escobar, who had a wide range of organized crime affiliations throughout Latin America. Pablo Escobar was a Colombian drug lord and he smuggled narcotics all the way to South Florida as when authorities tried to capture him. One of Pablo Escobar’s most important alliances was that of the Mexican-based traffickers. Escobar knew that this was an important trade route because of its geography and how it would be easier to smuggle the narcotics into the United States. This allowed a smuggling partnership between both countries and Mexico was to eventually lead their own drug based trafficking system with the help of Pablo Escobar. From the distributed drugs, cartels would take a certain amount of profit, and would use that money to bribe Mexican officials. By bribing Mexican officials it was insured that if smugglers were to be arrested they would either be let go, the case would be dropped or taking action against a rival smuggling group by giving away information about the rival’s plan to carry

One of the most known cartels that existed for a long time was The Medellin Cartel. It became a subculture of its own, creating a world full of violence, women, money, firearms, death but most importantly power and fear. Located in Colombia this brutal subculture will show how they become one of the wealthiest subculture in the world surpassing even its own country’s riches.

Pablo Escobar was born in 1949 in Colombia to a father was a peasant farmer and mother who was a school teacher (Thompson, 1996).
