Terrorism II:Domestic Response

This course will have a three part focus examining the challenges to homeland defense posed by modern terrorism by examining the response of governmental organizations (national/federal, state, municipal, city and town), private industry, and NGO's to various threats (mass destruction, nuclear attack, biological, chemical, 9/11/01 type of assults), and the legal challenges and changes in social policy that are a consequence of homeland security. Theoretical implications of new initiatives and the operational consequences for law enforcement agencies of existing and proposed strategies for homeland defense will be reviewed.
