TERRORISM AND HOMELAND SECURITY CJ3910: SUMMER 2021 QUAD B ONLINE

I will be teaching this course online this summer. This course provides a basic overview of the issues and criminology of terrorism. It will discuss international terrorism from ethnic, nationalistic, and separatist perspectives and look at religious and ideological terrorism; both international and domestic.  Specific terrorist organizations will be analyzed and discussed with specific attention given to future trends and behavior such as; suicide terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Cyberterrorism and other terrorist “tools of the trade”. Homeland Security and counter-terrorism issues will be addressed along with the importance of intelligence sharing and governmental partnerships between federal, state, and local law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In addition, you will be introduced to the Center for Domestic Preparedness interactive training exercises for the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to enrich your understanding of the principles of Homeland Security in the United States. Also, we will discuss how the urban context itself has been, and can be a catalyst for peace and peacefulness. (No perquisites for this course) REGISTER NOW!
