In this book, Ann Gordon and Kai Hamilton Gentry expertly
illuminate how the public has a role to play in ensuring its own
security. Recent terror attacks and mass shootings in the United
States have added urgency to the need for research on terrorism,
the public's understanding of the precursors of terrorism and
public preparedness for mass shootings and acts of terror.
Unfortunately, most Americans do not understand what constitutes
suspicious behavior or how to report it. Even more alarmingly, the
public does not know what to do in the event of terrorist attack or
mass casualty incident. Drawing on five years of the Chapman Survey
of American Fears (CSAF), a nationally representative survey, and
real-world events, Homeland InSecurity offers actionable solutions
on how to educate the public to overcome fear and play an active
role securing schools, public venues and the homeland itself. The
book addresses proposals by survivors and victims' families to
reduce violence through campaigns to deny shooters the notoriety
they seek and reduce access to guns. It also explores the rise of
activism among survivors of school shootings and their quest to
educate the public and end school shootings. Homeland InSecurity
will be essential for scholars, students, and policy makers.

An antidote to the culture of fear that dominates modern life From
moral panics about immigration and gun control to anxiety about
terrorism and natural disasters, Americans live in a culture of
fear. While fear is typically discussed in emotional or poetic
terms—as the opposite of courage, or as an obstacle to be
overcome—it nevertheless has very real consequences in everyday
life. Persistent fear negatively effects individuals’
decision-making abilities and causes anxiety, depression, and poor
physical health. Further, fear harms communities and society by
corroding social trust and civic engagement. Yet politicians often
effectively leverage fears to garner votes and companies routinely
market unnecessary products that promise protection from imagined
or exaggerated harms. Drawing on five years of data from the
Chapman Survey of American Fears—which canvasses a random,
national sample of adults about a broad range of fears—Fear
Itself offers new insights into what people are afraid of and how
fear affects their lives. The authors also draw on participant
observation with Doomsday preppers and conspiracy theorists to
provide fascinating narratives about subcultures of fear. Fear
Itself is a novel, wide-ranging study of the social consequences of
fear, ultimately suggesting that there is good reason to be afraid
of fear itself.
