Produktbeschreibung

Traditionally, resources on terrorism and counterterrorism tend to focus on the social, behavioral, and legal aspects of the subject, with minimal emphasis on the scientific and technological aspects. Taking into account these practical considerations, this text discusses the nature of terrorism and the materials used by terrorists. It describes how intelligence professionals and law enforcement personnel can detect and destroy these materials, and how they can confront terrorist groups. After exploring the origin and nature of terrorism, the book goes on to examine bioterrorism and agricultural, nuclear, chemical, and cyber-terrorism, as well as personal protective equipment.
