Terrorism Within Comparative International Context

by Joseph F. King, Charles A. Lieberman, M.R. Haberfeld

Local law enforcement is key to the war on terror, but there's a limit to how far citizens want their police to go. This book covers law enforcement training and techniques that are both effective against terror and amenable to citizens.

Publisher Description

The introductory chapter of this book presents the concepts of the bene?ts inherent in the study of comparative approach for an effective counterterrorism response on the local law enforcement level and overviews the inception of the project. Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-?rst century, especially after the events of September 11, 2001, the legitimacy of law enforcement practices has been cited as a major concern for international criminal justice. As policing pr- titioners and scholars throughout the world shifted focus from a traditional reactive, crime control stance to the need for accountability mechanisms to ensure the s- port of citizenry in combating crime and terrorism, the democratization of policing was seen as the best mechanism for achieving long-term gains in public order at the same time as protecting human rights. While the need to maintain human rights remains an important issue, balancing these concerns with the important public safety interests of societies is paramount.

Back Cover

The post-9/11 era, with its emphasis on preparedness against terrorist attacks, has seen an ongoing conflict of priorities between law enforcement agencies and the civilian sector: public safety versus individual rights. Community-oriented policing--mobilizing community support in partnership with local law enforcement--has been developed internationally to address this issue, and Terrorism within Comparative International Context assesses the progress and shortcomings of community-based programs. Written by leading experts in police science and based on extensive interviews and focus groups with law enforcement, media, and community representatives, the book offers: A comparative database on terror control strategies in, among others, Ireland, Turkey, Sweden, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands Analysis of the interaction between the community and local law enforcement in response to terrorist activities. Insights into the relationships between home-grown terrorists, the preventive role of the community, and the proactive role of local law enforcement. A "Best Practices" section including recommendations for investigation and interrogation techniques. A real-world template for training law enforcement personnel. Terrorism within Comparative International Context is critical reading for researchers, students and professionals across a range of interrelated fields, including criminal justice, terrorism/counterterrorism, organized crime, police science, and public administration, and makes an up-to-date textbook for courses in these areas.
