Literature Review
R1: Does the act of terrorism in countries mean there is low to minimal security within these countries.
R2: Looking at the act of terrorism during the United States of America’s (USA) 9/11 attack, Does this show there is low to minimal security within our countries? Did this attack increase terrorism through social media or technology?
Purpose:
The goal of this literature review is to determine whether the 9/11 attack on America is associated and indicates that our countries have low to minimal security, also made this attack lead to the increase of terrorism through social media or technology. It will identify whether the security levels have been compromised and determine whether 9/11 attacks are the cause of the growth …show more content…
The implementation of many ‘hard and soft’ security strategies was introduced to allow for ‘intensive surveillance and control of the movement of suspect populations’ (Levi and Wall 2004, 194). The act of 9/11 questioned the safety level of America, asking if America had the adequate security level to protect their people and country. Levi and Wall (2004), expressed that problems lied between whether USA’s small to minimal security implicates that our countries also have the same or less security to protect the people of Australia or other nations adequately. The United States (US) ultimately recognised there was a breach in security and that they needed to reform their safety protocols to be well equipped and protected from other threats or terrorist attacks (205). The quest for security of their country was of high priority. The US implemented more security agents immediately, these agents rode on planes as undercover officers and were trained to act decisively in events that could cause grief or damages towards other people. Many countries have followed the footsteps of America and tried implementing more security measures to ensure the safety of their people and country. A great example is the Australian Border Force and Transportation Security Administration’s implementation of more trained officers to carry out routine security …show more content…
It was evident that there was a dramatic need for change in security post 9/11 attack. The terrorist had breached security at three American airports, allowing them to conduct the act of terrorism. ‘Eight were identified as requiring additional security checks (Prenzler, Lowden and Sarre 2010, 10)’, but yet they still pass through security. This attack gave way for governments to create legislation in order to protect the well-being of their countries, one of the examples was the USA Patriot Act 2001 this piece of legislation gave way for the government to perform secret searches, allow for limitless government surveillance, grant the FBI with the ability to breach privacy and incarcerate or detain non-citizens based on mere suspicion and to deny re-admission to the US of non-citizens (Edgar 2003). The complications of this could lead to the misuse of the power and could harm the people they are trying to protect in the first
