CRJU 236 - Counter Terrorism;3 credits

Institution:

Brookdale Community College

Subject:

Description:

The course begins by examining the political and historical roots of international terrorism. The structure and dynamics of international and domestic terrorist groups will be described. Counterterrorism strategies and the responses to the terrorist threat in the United States will be a major focus of the course. September 11, 2001 has changed the perception of the dangers faced by the country. The creation of the Office of Homeland Security and the US Patriots Act has altered the role of the federal government in the country's response to internal dangers. Students need to be made aware of changes in the relationship between local and federal responses to national threats. Enhanced intelligence, new security techniques and devices, as well as the organization of agencies to more effectively respond to the terrorist threat will be an important part of the course. Finally, new career opportunities have been created that need to be understood by current students. (Prerequisite: CRJU 101)
