A comprehensive overview of counterterrorism that examines key
aspects of the fight against terrorism, including intelligence, law
enforcement, the military, financial and criminal activity, ethics,
and social media. Recent terrorist actions in the United States and
abroad make it clear that the subject of counterterrorism is as
vital and as timely as ever. Edited by a leading authority on
terrorism and security studies, this compendium offers a
wide-ranging look at the most vital aspects of counterterrorism,
from diplomacy and military action to the investigation and
interdiction of terrorist finances. Following an introduction,
chapters offer insightful discussions of strategy, policy,
tactical, and operational dimensions of counterterrorism. An
interdisciplinary team of expert contributors examine a wide range
of topics, including "lone wolf" and homegrown terrorists,
intelligence cooperation, social media, community policing,
terrorism finance, and the shadow economy. Case studies from
Europe, Latin America, South Asia, the Middle East, and the United
States provide clear, practical examples of effective-and sometimes
not so effective-approaches to combating terrorism. The volume will
serve as a central textbook for professional development courses,
workshops, and academic degree programs on terrorism,
counterterrorism, and security studies. Analyzes critical themes
and issues related to the fight against terrorism Provides an ideal
guide for students and other readers who are new to the study of
counterterrorism and national and international security Brings
together contributors from academia, the military, law enforcement,
government and intelligence agencies, and think tanks Includes case
studies that illustrate key concepts used in successfully combating
terrorism
