The book aims to outline the progress, problems and challenges of
delivering a safe and secure Olympics in the context of the
contemporary serious and enduring terrorist threat. The enormous
media profile and symbolic significance of the Olympic Games, the
history of terrorists aiming to use such high-profile events to
advance their cause, and Al Qaeda's aim to cause mass casualties,
all have major implications for the security of London 2012.
Drawing on contributions from leading academics and practitioners
in the field the book will assess the current terrorist threat,
particularly focusing on terrorist targeting and how the Olympics
might feature in this, before addressing particular response themes
such as transport security, the role of surveillance, resilient
designing of Olympic sites, the role of private security, and the
challenge of inter-agency coordination. The book will conclude by
providing an assessment of the legacy of Olympic security to date
and will discuss the anticipated issues and dilemmas of the future.
This book will be of interest to students of terrorism studies,
security studies, counter-terrorism and sports studies.
