CRJ 3410 Strategies in Homeland Security and Terrorism

(formerly CRJ 341)

Domestic and international terrorism have become commonplace in the modern world.  Issues vary from basic definitions to complex international responses. Evaluation and review of both terrorism and homeland security on the local, national, and international levels will be reviewed in depth. The analyses of emerging strategies of terrorists and law enforcement will be critically evaluated using recent events as case studies. Domestic and homegrown terrorist networks can be just as problematic for law enforcement as international groups. An understanding of how terrorist organizations operate and current methods to combat them will be thoroughly explored. Homeland security and the difficulties of fighting terrorism in a free society will also be examined. The impact of Constitutional issues including civil liberties will be discussed.
