In this book, Ann Gordon and Kai Hamilton Gentry expertly
illuminate how the public has a role to play in ensuring its own
security. Recent terror attacks and mass shootings in the United
States have added urgency to the need for research on terrorism,
the public's understanding of the precursors of terrorism and
public preparedness for mass shootings and acts of terror.
Unfortunately, most Americans do not understand what constitutes
suspicious behavior or how to report it. Even more alarmingly, the
public does not know what to do in the event of terrorist attack or
mass casualty incident. Drawing on five years of the Chapman Survey
of American Fears (CSAF), a nationally representative survey, and
real-world events, Homeland InSecurity offers actionable solutions
on how to educate the public to overcome fear and play an active
role securing schools, public venues and the homeland itself. The
book addresses proposals by survivors and victims' families to
reduce violence through campaigns to deny shooters the notoriety
they seek and reduce access to guns. It also explores the rise of
activism among survivors of school shootings and their quest to
educate the public and end school shootings. Homeland InSecurity
will be essential for scholars, students, and policy makers.
