DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn compiling this annotated bibliography on the psychology of terrorism, the author has defined terrorism as "acts of violence intentionally perpetrated on civilian noncombatants with the goal of furthering some ideological, religious or political objective." The principal focus is on nonstate actors. The task was to identify and analyze the scientific and professional social science literature pertaining to the psychological and/or behavioral dimensions of terrorist behavior (not on victimization or effects). The objectives were to explore what questions pertaining to terrorist groups and behavior had been asked by social science researchers; to identify the main findings from that research; and attempt to distill and summarize them within a framework of operationally relevant questions. To identify the relevant social science literature, the author began by searching a series of major academic databases using a systematic, iterative keyword strategy, mapping, where possible, onto existing subject headings. The focus was on locating professional social science literature published in major books or in peer-reviewed journals. Searches were conducted of the following databases October 2003: Sociofile/Sociological Abstracts, Criminal Justice Abstracts (CJ Abstracts), Criminal Justice Periodical Index (CJPI), National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts (NCJRS), PsycInfo, Medline, and Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS). Three types of annotations were provided for works in this bibliography: Author's Abstract -- this is the abstract of the work as provided (and often published) by the author; Editor's Annotation -- this is an annotation written by the editor of this bibliography; and Key Quote Summary -- this is an annotation composed of "key quotes" from the original work, edited to provide a cogent overview of its main points.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is an axiom within the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities that "following the money" is the key to disrupting and dismantling criminal organizations. The same is true when it comes to terrorist networks. Officials in the United States and abroad now realize that fighting terrorism financing (and its corollary, money laundering) is one of the best ways to prevent future catastrophic attacks. As a new generation of public servants learns the ropes and begins to contribute to the war on terror, the proven tactic of following money trails will become more central than ever. At the same time, this task is becoming increasingly complex due to our adversaries' skill in avoiding traditional financial countermeasures. Law enforcement and intelligence officials must learn to understand the sometimes obscure methodologies that terrorist organizations use to raise, move, and store money-whether these activities stem from the Usama bin Ladens of the world, rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea, or members of Hizbollah, Hamas, or a host of other like-minded organizations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConstantly evolving by the day, terrorism threatens global peace and security, and its capital-intensive nature, consequently drives sub-regional terror groups to explore diverse funding sources, both legal and illegal. Terrorism thrives on money, and without it, terrorists are unable to function due to the high operational and logistical costs. Money, hence, serves as the lifeblood of terrorist activities in West Africa, and the world at large. Terrorism destabilizes nations, undermines economic development, democracy, rule of law, fundamental human rights and human dignity, and its devastating ramifications thereof, have, over time, become a growing concern to society. The present book, mindful of the evolving terror threat to West Africa's stability and security, explores the fundamental drivers of terrorist financing in West Africa; investigates the modus operandi, techniques, tactics, and funding sources of sub-regional terrorist groups; examines the motives of supporters, sponsors, and financiers of terrorist financing in West Africa; probes the vulnerabilities confronting West Africa's anti-terror financing initiatives; and explores potent ways of empowering national and regional institutions, to enable them to address the threat of sub-regional terrorism and its financing. Jones K. Boakye is a dynamic, diligent, dedicated, industrious, unassuming, and astute gentleman, mostly driven by passion and conviction, in pursuit of his undertakings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 2003, this account of the anti-terrorist measures of London's financial district and the changes in urban security after 9/11 has been revised to take into account developments in counter-terrorist security and management, particularly after the terrorist attack in London on July 7th 2005. It makes a valuable addition to the current debate on terrorism and the new security challenges facing Western nations. Drawing on the post-9/11 academic and policy literature on how terrorism is reshaping the contemporary city, this book explores the changing nature of the terrorist threat against global cities in terms of tactics and targeting, and the challenge of developing city-wide managerial measures and strategies. Also addressed is the way in which London is leading the way in developing best practice in counter-terrorist design and management, and how such practice is being internationalized.
