Drawn from case examples of incidents from around the world,
Targeted Violence A Statistical and Tactical Analysis of
Assassinations, Contract Killings, and Kidnappings is the most
complete resource of information on the attack methodologies,
tactics used, and groups responsible for targeted killings and
kidnappings. The author, a former SWAT and JTTF team member whose
experience includes providing protection to diplomats, high-ranking
military personnel, prosecutors, and organized crime informants
presents a wealth of global statistics on assassinations, contract
killings, and kidnappings that have occurred from 1950 to the
present.
Leaving no stone unturned, the book breaks down the various
incidents of targeted violence by region, country, month, day of
the week, and time of day. It reports on likely locations for each
type of attack, success rates, who is likely to initiate the
attacks, and who they are most likely to target. The book s
easy-to-follow format allows readers, experienced or not in
personal protective work, to determine the types of attacks known
to have occurred in any region.
This complete reference includes 35 case studies that examine
attacks on motorcades and pedestrians dating back to 1973
highlighting the lessons to be learned from each example. It
analyzes the modus operandi of individual assailants and groups in
order to determine commonalities between targeted victims and why
certain groups tend to target a specific type of individual. The
text concludes with a chapter on victimology.
Just like anyone, assassins and hit men fall into routines and
can become creatures of habit. By studying and understanding the
collection of historical information contained in these pages,
security, military, and law enforcement professionals responsible
for providing protection will be better prepared to identify
potential threats and develop the tactics needed to thwart such
attacks.
