Now updated and expanded for its second edition, this book
investigates the role intelligence plays in maintaining homeland
security and emphasizes that effective intelligence collection and
analysis are central to reliable homeland security. The first
edition of Homeland Security and Intelligence was the go-to text
for a comprehensive and clear introduction to U.S intelligence and
homeland security issues, covering all major aspects including
analysis, military intelligence, terrorism, emergency response,
oversight, and domestic intelligence. This fully revised and
updated edition adds eight new chapters to expand the coverage to
topics such as recent developments in cyber security, drones, lone
wolf radicalization, whistleblowers, the U.S. Coast Guard, border
security, private security firms, and the role of first responders
in homeland security. This volume offers contributions from a range
of scholars and professionals from organizations such as the
Department of Homeland Security, the Center for Homeland Defense
and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School, the National
Intelligence University, the Air Force Academy, and the
Counterterrorism Division at the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center. This breadth of unique and informed perspectives brings a
broad range of experience to the topic, enabling readers to gain a
critical understanding of the intelligence process as a whole and
to grasp what needs to happen to strengthen these various systems.
The book presents a brief history of intelligence in the United
States that addresses past and current structures of the
intelligence community. Recent efforts to improve
information-sharing among the federal, state, local, and private
sectors are considered, and the critical concern regarding whether
the intelligence community is working as intended-and whether there
is an effective system of checks and balances to govern it-is
raised. The book concludes by identifying the issues that should be
addressed in order to better safeguard our nation in the future.
Addresses the most recent changes in homeland security and
intelligence, explains the dynamics and structure of the
intelligence community, and assesses the effectiveness of new
intelligence processes Focuses on the evolving structure of the
intelligence community and its processes in the age of ISIS and
organized, widespread terrorist threats as witnessed by the events
in Boston, San Bernardino, and Paris Contains seven new chapters as
well as revisions and updates throughout this second edition
Underscores how intelligence can work-and needs to function-across
homeland security efforts at the federal, state, and local levels
