"Expanding the Concept" boxes help students take a deeper dive on important chapter topics, such as "Advantages of the Hawala System", "The Most Common Tactic of Terrorism" and "As Sahaab versus al Hurra".
Chapter learning objectives help readers focus on key concepts, which are further reinforced in end-of-chapter "Chapter Take Aways" and "Objective Summary" sections -- maximizing students' study time and course success.
Many chapters include an "Another Perspective" boxed feature illustrating that issues in terrorism and homeland security often go beyond a simple two-sided debate. These insightful features introduce controversial opinions and alternative understandings of social processes, giving students a deeper understanding of all the challenges involved. Topics include "Force Multipliers", "The PKK By Any Other Name" and "Media Ownership".
Terrorism frequently blurs the line between law enforcement and national security intelligence. The text's unique emphasis on intelligence helps students see the difference. Sections in Part IV spotlight law enforcement intelligence systems, fusion centers and national security intelligence -- equipping students with a solid understanding of today's intelligence initiatives.
