Riassunto

Explore the growing concerns about security with this vital book

Homeland Security has never been a more important part of the American social and political fabric. Risk assessment, attack prediction and prevention, preparedness measures, response to terrorist activity, and natural disaster management all fall under the purview of homeland security. It is a key focus of the US security state, which has expanded massively in recent decades.

Introduction to Homeland Security provides an overview of this subject for professors, students, and practitioners in the field. Drawing upon a rich foundation of scholarship and academic literature, it focuses principally on terrorism prevention and protection, and offers new content related to novel threats and security concerns. Its practitioner-centered approach and attention to both governmental and non-governmental stakeholders make it an indispensable introduction to the subject.

Readers will also find:

• Coverage of the four traditional phases of emergency management
• New and additional treatment of border control, drug trafficking, organized crime, mass shootings, protests, riots, pandemics, and climate change
• Companion websites including extensive pedagogical materials, student self-assessment tests, and an image gallery

Introduction to Homeland Security is ideal for professors and students in homeland security and emergency management programs, as well as practitioners involved in this important profession.
