Analysis of passenger control principles and techniques

Instructions

Many states have implemented a variety of processes or practices to control and facilitate the processing of passengers at their ports of entry.
• Research and discuss four (4) examples of passenger control and facilitation processes used by border control authorities. Describe how each reflects a best practice in the context of the Revised Kyoto Convention and the Chicago Convention. (350 words)
• Draw upon examples from your own country or region and discuss the relative benefits and risks that might be associated with the use of each practice, in both air and sea modes of travel. (750 words)
• Despite the best designed system, there will always be risks. Suggest actions that might be undertaken to mitigate those risks without impeding cross-border travel. (400 words)
Rationale
This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:
• be able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the international standards relating to the processing of passengers and be able to evaluate the application of such standards in their own border management environment
• be able to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the processes and techniques used in effective examination of both passengers and baggage
• be able to critically evaluate the effectiveness of passenger processing techniques in particular operational settings
• be able to research, identify and detail how recent technological advances can be used in the effective processing of passengers
• be able to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the importance of document examination, risk assessment, questioning, and the preservation of evidence in the effective examination of both passengers and baggage
• be able to evaluate critically the manner in which international trends may impact on passenger processing, including emerging technologies, economic imperatives and international standards and pressures
The purpose of this assignment is to broaden your understanding of passenger control and facilitation processes and how these processes may be optimized in times of increasing traveller volumes, increasing cross-border crime, and dwindling resources.
This assignment will contribute to your progress towards achieving all the CSU graduate learning outcomes and in particular:
• Professional Practice, Academic Literacy & Numeracy and Information & Research Literacies
Marking criteria and standards
The following criteria will be used in marking this assignment:
• Your ability to identify and describe practices of passenger control and facilitation in use today and relate these to internationally defined best practices (4/20)
• Your ability to analyse and explain the benefits and risks associated with passenger control and facilitation processes and relate these to your particular region (6/20)
• Your ability to analyse existing practices, identify potential weaknesses and suggest solutions to remedy those weaknesses (4/20)
• Your ability to use informed sources to appropriately support your position (2/20)
• Your ability to communicate effectively in academic writing (2/20)
• Your ability to provide due and appropriate in text and end of text referencing in accordance with the required APA (6th Ed) style (2/20)

Referencing
Citing or referencing is the process of acknowledging the words, ideas or data of others used in the preparation of an assessment. This is important to allow the readers of your work to locate and check each source of information and importantly to avoid plagiarism. A reference is necessary when:
• another writer is directly quoted
• the ideas of another writer are reported or rephrased.
Like many other schools at Charles Sturt University, CCES uses the American Psychological Association (APA) referencing style. Students must use the APA (6th ed.) referencing style when completing all assessments.

To assist Students to understand how to reference and avoid unintentional plagiarism the Library has produced guidance to referencing assignments, essays, theses, dissertations and other works can be found at:
http://student.csu.edu.au/library/integrity/referencing-at-csu
The University has published a guide to using the APA referencing style and it can be found at: http://student.csu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/294977/APA-Referencing-Summary.pdf
In your assignments and submissions in this Course you will often be referring to international agreements/treaties etc. As the APA Publication Manual does not explicitly provide instructions in this regard the following is provided by CCES as a guide that you may find helpful.

If you have any doubts about the referencing requirements and your responsibilities in this regard you are encouraged to contact your subject coordinator before you provide any written work.

Students have a responsibility to uphold University standards on ethical scholarship. Good scholarship involves building on the work of others and use of others work must be acknowledged with proper attribution made. Cheating, plagiarism, and falsification of data are dishonest practices which contravene academic values.

Plagiarism consists of a person using the words or ideas of another as if they were his or her own. That is, using, or attempting to use, another person’s work without acknowledgement. The phrase ‘using another person’s work’ includes, but is not limited to:
• paraphrasing the work of another person;
• directly copying any part of another person’s work;
• summarising the work of another person;
• using or developing an idea or theme derived from another person’s work;
• using experimental results obtained from another person’s work; and
• in the case of collaborative projects, falsely representing the individual contributions of the collaborating students where individual contributions are to be identified.

Charles Sturt University takes a serious view of plagiarism and cheating in any form of assessment, and will take appropriate steps to detect plagiarism including by electronic means. Other forms of cheating will also be treated with the utmost seriousness.

Penalties for plagiarism are listed in the Academic Regulations under the Student Academic Misconduct Rule. The penalties include:
• a caution or reprimand;
• awarding of zero marks in the assignment, essay, project, test, examination or other work in respect of which academic misconduct has occurred;
• a fail in the subject;
• a fine;
• suspended enrolment; or
• exclusion from the University.
