I won’t touch self-defence since Diogenese knows what he’s talking about- and I don’t

Second point. Go to a local library and find a book by Clausewitz. He was basically the founding father of modern warfare as well has the equivalent to a secretary of state in Austria or Germany (my memory is failing). He said that war was the extension of politics. What this means is that when diplomacy fails, you're entitled to go to war to solve a problem. One thing to note for war, there's only one motivation or justification: protection of a state national interest (it's never, never, never justice or morality).

For the third point, call your FBI or police force office and ask the Q. They're probably going to tell you that they can confiscate stuff if:
1- Item was use or took part in a crime
2- Item is not allowed in the country
3- Item will be used as evidence at a trial.

But I'm sure there's more and they might point you towards some reading material. Good luck.

BTW: Books are great for a report but, interviews are better because you add credibility, effort and you can ask they exact questions you want answered. Plus, when interviewing, you can ask the experts which books they recommend and put them in your paper.

Good luck
