Terrorism is considered by many to be an existential threat within the modern world. As the various terrorist attacks in the early part of the 21st century have demonstrated, the intentional use of violence to achieve stated political or ideological goals is a significant concern for law enforcement, public safety, and political officials. While terrorism isn’t the only hazard present in society, understanding what can be done to prevent, mitigate, and prepare for a potential attack has direct application to other intentional hazards. Furthermore, the requirements for responding to a terrorism incident apply to other sudden-onset incidents. This course will provide students with a baseline understanding of the hazard and the approaches that can be taken to improve individual, organizational, and community resilience to terrorism and other intentional hazards.
