Concept information
Preferred term
police and terrorism
Definition
- Terrorism is not a new phenomenon to the world; however, following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, many people both domestically and internationally struggled with the search for answers to how this was able to happen. In its wake, law enforcement has been forced to reexamine its role in society as new questions surface related to the balance between public safety and security, the extent of collaboration with federal jurisdictions, the ability to mobilize community support for information-gathering and intelligence activities, and how to develop sufficient resources for both the detection of incidents and response to those that occur.
