Terrorism and Public Safety Policing:
Implications for the Obama Presidency
A Pragmatic Answer to the Systematic Change Already Underway
The trends,
data, and battle-tested logic do not lie. A "perfect storm"
of extremist ideologies is on the horizon that threatens to challenge
the current state of public safety—forcing police chiefs,
public administrators, and security professionals to rethink their
approach to policing the streets of America. Professor James Pastor,
a recognized authority on policing and security, draws on three
decades of experience fighting on the front lines against domestic
terrorism to identify key indicators that point to an increase in
extremist violence and terrorist threats right here at home.
Merging public
policy analysis with an understanding of human nature, Terrorism
and Public Safety Policing: Implications for the Obama Presidency provides a unique and thorough examination of the current state
of policing and reviews recent events to identify troublesome trends
and potential vulnerabilities that must be addressed. This forward-looking
guide introduces a new model of policing—Public Safety Policing—that
accounts for the changes already underway and offers an organized
and proactive response to the new breed of problems on the horizon.
Complete with
supporting statistics, graphics, and photos, this book provides
a realistic look into the future of law enforcement, public safety,
and private security. By providing a narrative of the important
decisions that need to be made, the author guides policymakers,
police administrators, and security professionals with the vision
needed to anticipate predicaments on the horizon and the tools needed
to address them effectively.
