The US government spends billions of dollars to secure strategic
and tactical assets at home and abroad against enemy attack.
However, as "hard targets" such as military installations and
government buildings are further strengthened, vulnerable soft
targets are increasingly in the crosshairs of terrorists and
violent criminals. Attacks on crowded spaces such as churches,
schools, malls, transportation hubs, and recreational venues result
in more casualties and have a powerful effect on the psyche of the
populace. Soft Target Hardening: Protecting People from Attack,
Second Edition, continues the national dialogue started by the
first edition by providing case studies, best practices, and
methodologies for identifying soft target vulnerabilities and
reducing risk in the United States and beyond. Soft target attacks
steadily climbed in number and scale of violence since the first
edition of this book. New tactics emerged, as terrorists
continually hit the "reset button" with each attack. In this
volatile, ever-changing security environment, plans to protect
people and property must be fluid and adaptable. Along with new
hardening tactics, such as the use of tactical deception to
disguise, conceal, and divert, the author has updated the text with
new case studies to reflect and respond to the fast-moving
transformation in methods from more complex and organized forms of
terror to simpler, yet still-devastating approaches. This book is a
must-read for those who secure, own, and operate soft target
facilities, and for citizens who want to protect themselves and
their families from attack. Soft Target Hardening, Second Edition,
was named the ASIS International Security Industry Book of the Year
in 2019.
