What is the Espionage Act?
Espionage is spies that hi are used to spy on enemies. They look for their special plans and find out what is happening in the enemy base. An espionage act is "a federal la…w that criminalizes and punishes espionage, spying and related crimes." (Garner, 2004, p. 585) One good example of an espionage act is the Espionage Act of 1917, which was a federal statute passed on the 15th of June, 1917. The Espionage act of 1917 is composed of nine sections. Section 1 addressed espionage itself, prohibited actions such as obtaining information or committing actions to the purpose of spying or harming the United States or to benefit foreign countries. Section 2 prohibited the communication of such information with the intent to injure the United States and listed the punishment in wartime as death or imprisonment for more than thirty years. Section 3 prohibited false reports and attempts to cause insubordination with the intention to interfere with the operation or success of the military. Sections 4 and 5 prohibited conspiracy and aiding persons trying to commit espionage. Sections 6, 7 & 8 discussed related issues and section 9 repealed the entitles "An Act to prevent the disclosure of national defence secrets," of 1911. The act can be enforced "when the United States is at war." (Garner, 2004, p. 585) The Espionage act of 1917 was later followed by the Espionage act of 1918, which was repealed in 1921.

What is an example of espionage?
An example of espionage, would be the acquisition of the Jerry Can, by Allied forces in World War 2. A German engineer and his American college Paul Pleiss had built a vehicle… to travel India. The German, realising they had no way to store spare fuel and water, took several Jerry Cans, which had been secretly developed by the Nazi prior to the war, from the stockpile at a German airport. When the inadvertent theft was discovered, the Luftwaffe was dispatched to arrest the German engineer. Paul Pleiss however, had continued on with both the vehicle and the cans. Eventually the cans made their way back to America and the Allied forces and were subsequently reused by the Allied forces. Espionage may take many forms, including theft of informational intelligence documents, dissemination of false informational intelligence in an attempt to deceive an opponent, and theft of strategic assets, such as the Jerry can. Espionage is distinctly different from sabotage, in that espionage does not use direct destruction against strategic assets. (MORE)
