1.    Manhunt

a.       I would title this Manhunt, Definition and Overview instead of the title it has now, then in my next subheading go into manhunt operations in history.

2.     Manhunt operations in history: There have been over a dozen confirmed manhunts in present U.S. military There are many famous one manhunts in recent memory, one of the more recent being the manhunt in search of the Boston Marathon Bombers. One of the earliest recorded manhunts was that of Ned Kelly, a brush ranger, in Australia Manhunt is not to be confused with assassination, assassination is defined as the murdering of a person usually of power or authority for political or governmental gains. a manhunt can also be defined as an organized search for a person or persons of interest that have usually been charged with a crime. A manhunt can end with the capture of the person or persons of interest, it does not have to end with them being killed.

a.       Here I would give an overview of how many reported manhunts there have been, or how many there have been in recent years, which the article already does a decent job at. I couldn't find exact numbers on manhunts internationally, seeing as how sometimes assassinations are seen as manhunts. I could however specifically talk about manhunts and try to stay away from the assassination part of this section.

b.      Next I would go through all the manhunts reordered, which the article does that but I would try to condense it down, weed out specifically manhunts and not just assassination attempts. I decided to keep this portion like it is, the article does a good job of explaining the manhunts that were international or conducted on U.S. soil. I would however explain which examples are defined as manhunts and which are defined as assassinations because there is a difference.

c.       I would then look at those manhunts that were successful and which ones had failed, which the article only touches on a little bit. There are too many recorded manhunts to get an exact number, from the information I found anytime a fugitive or a known criminal is trying to escape justice, if the law enforcement is tracking them it is considered a manhunt. The difference is when referencing am military manhunt vs. law enforcement manhunts. It is difficult to pick and choose because often times the military and law enforcement work together to track the criminal.

3.     Legal controversy

a.       The article does a pretty good job on explaining the legal controversy surrounding manhunts; I would try to explain more if this was just a United States controversy or an international controversy. Not just a United States issues, often foreign counties work together in international manhunt operations.

b.      Next I would look at the policies put in place to protect the governments that condone the manhunts.
