The terrorism threat and U.S. Government Response: Operational and Organizational Factors

Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. xxii, 284 p. Footnotes. From WIkipedia: "In the international community, terrorism has no legally binding, criminal law definition. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts that are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (e.g., neutral military personnel or civilians). Some definitions now include acts of unlawful violence and war. The word "terrorism" is politically loaded and emotionally charged, [5] and this greatly compounds the difficulty of providing a precise definition. A study on political terrorism examining over 100 definitions of "terrorism" found 22 separate definitional elements (e.g. Violence, force, fear, threat, victim-target differentiation). Terrorism has been practiced by a broad array of political organizations to further their objectives. It has been practiced by both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries, and ruling governments. The symbolism of terrorism can exploit human fear to help achieve these goals." Good. Highlighting/underlining. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some yellow highlighting noted. Artikel-Nr. 69713
