Defending the Homeland

The United States government is reorganizing to increase domestic security. How will these changes impact the American police? DEFENDING THE HOMELAND: AMERICA'S DOMESTIC LAW ENFORCEMENT, DEFENSE, AND INTELLIGENCE PLAN SINCE 9/11 illustrates many of the policy challenges law enforcement will face. The book discusses the problem of bureaucracy, interaction between the law enforcement and intelligence communities, civil liberties, and theories of war and police work. From a practical perspective, the book examines offensive and defensive strategies. The book gives an introduction to violent international religious terrorism and an overview of domestic terrorist problems still facing law enforcement. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
