ABSTRACT
Criminal investigators spend years studying crim-inal behavior to better understand and countercrime. The field of terrorism is no different. It is a specialized subject that requires serious study, and requires that those in the front line of defense be as knowledgeable as possible. Today’s police officers, security managers, and customs officers have received most of their terrorism education in short briefings, or simply via magazines or television. In the coming years, security professionals may receive more specialized training and education on terrorism-or they may not. This book is intended as a resource for those who realize that they need to begin their own terrorism education today.
