This volume is intended by the authors (professors of criminal justice at Sam Houston State U.) to serve as a primary undergraduate-level text for courses on "Homeland Security" in the United States or as an ancillary text in introductory criminal justice or terrorism-related courses. The authors provide a general contextual discussion of terrorism and a more detailed look at the September 11th, 2001 attacks and the immediate government response. They also assess vulnerabilities associated with communications and information technology, weapons of mass destruction, and natural disasters. Legal issues are discussed, including a relatively detailed treatment of the USA PATRIOT Act and briefer discussions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, and Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. Anderson Publishing is a member of the LexisNexis group. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
