Handbook

Countering terrorism is not an act, but a process. In a post-9/11 world, counter terrorism is no longer within the ambit of few, but the responsibility of many. This responsibility spans intelligence, law enforcement, corrections, and the military as government representatives, and crosses into private industry, encompassing business, legal analysis, the media, and community organisations. This subject will introduce you to the complex counter terrorism challenges that are intrinsic to the current terrorism threat. You will explore the different approaches to counter terrorism through the lens of government and non-government actors, in order to consider the practical, ethical and legal challenges in countering evolving and diverse threats.
