After reading this text, the reader will have a fuller understanding of the nature of domestic terrorism and a clearer understanding of the basics. These basics include a review of the complex history that spans thousands of years, an explanation of definitions, a review of contemporary domestic terrorism, and the examination of intelligence gathering, threat analysis, and emergency responses to terrorism-incident management. It is hoped that such knowledge as presented here will enhance the publicÂ’s understanding of domestic terrorism and law enforcementÂ’s ability to prevent and respond to its acts. It focuses almost exclusively on right-wing domestic terrorism because of its strong presence in the last twenty years and the projection of experts that right-wing terrorism will prevail well into the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with definitional problems associated with policymakerÂ’s and law enforcementÂ’s handling of terrorism, an historical overview of terrorism and terrorist incidents in the global community, and an historical examination of terrorism from below in the United States. Part Two addresses the American Hate Movement and patriot-militia activities. It also discusses the emergence of special- interest extremist and terrorism groups that advocate violence based on an ideology or belief, which may include the desire for political and social change. They include ecological resistance groups, antienvironmental movements, animal rights and antiabortion activists. Part Three focuses on effective criminal intelligence-gathering techniques and the implementation of terrorism-incident management strategies.

Great Textbook,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Domestic Terrorism and Incident Management: Issues and Tactics (Paperback)
This was a great textbook that chronicled the terrorist movement in the United States. It addresses both Right-Wing extremists and Left-Wing extremists. The information is well researched, and well documented. I found this book to be one of the most informative book regarding Domestic Terrorism.
