Counter-terrorism

cost of counter-terrorism has cost us billions of dollars which has much secrecy around it and has put many Muslims under suspicion. In the UK the communities are the primary element of counterterrorism, and Muslims are encouraged to cooperate with law enforcement to reduce any possible terrorist acts (Spalek and Lambert,2008). This is a proactive approach that is upfront and not done in covert manners that could alienate the population. The logic behind community based police for counter-terror…

was the catalyst that brought about radical changes to traditional and community models of counter terrorism policing both internationally and within Australia. In recent years following these attacks and other similar events such as the London bombing, have brought counter terrorist measures to the forefront of policy decisions within Australia and abroad (Belasco 2010). The United Nations defines terrorism as ‘the act of violence that targets civilians in the pursuit of ideological or…

Terrorism plays an integral role in the plots of The Hurt Locker, Rendition and Zero Dark Thirty. While each film uniquely centers on counter-terrorism protagonists, the films guard against painting with too broad of strokes by courageously puncturing the traditional good versus evil narrative commonly employed whenever terrorism is discussed. The three films, without explicitly deriding counter-terrorism, goes to great lengths to expose many of its pitfalls. The films are also praiseworthy for…

Motivation This lab demonstrated the intricacies of group structure. In Counter Terrorism Task Force, the main objective was to use sets of clues to narrow down several suspects until there is one clear suspect. As a member of group 9, the outcome of the lab was a failed identification of the guilty suspect and a four way tie for second to longest time to respond out of teams that failed the lab. The results of the lab were not ideal because there wasn’t an ideal group structure, nor was…

mutually exclusive strategies? Much research and evidence has shown that community policing can help support homeland security by giving the police legitimacy and promoting procedural justice. I would like to discuss specifically counter-terror focused on Islamic terrorism since that has been the focus by much of the policy of the united states and other western nations but I am aware of that there are also many non-Muslim terrorist groups which may or may not have similar implications for law…

things can’t come back to bite you; but the purpose of the justice system must not be lost - the message you send an offender and society is paramount in their reform. While this statute was added post-9/11 and was surely passed in the name counter-terrorism, I doubt many, if any, terror plots have been foiled thanks to the law. I do believe it should be in place in order to punish - and rehabilitate - those that would terrorize others. A statute such as this needs to be in place, and while…

Over the past few years new threats of terrorism have been encountered by the United States. Many think of these threats coming from the outside world when really they are coming from within the country. This is what we know as domestic terrorism. Over the past decade, this has become a rising problem of violence striking across our nation. This problem is not only becoming a threat to the people of our nation, but the security of our nation. The Department of Homeland Security has been taking…
