Book Synopsis Policing and Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland by : Neil Southern
Download or read book Policing and Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland written by Neil Southern and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the challenges of combating terrorism from a policing perspective using the example of the Royal Ulster Constabulary GC (RUC) in Northern Ireland. The RUC was in the frontline of counter-terrorism work for thirty years of conflict during which time it also provided a normal policing service to the public. However, combating a protracted and vicious terrorist campaign exacted a heaving price on the force. Importantly, the book addresses a seriously under-researched theme in terrorism studies, namely, the impact of terrorism on members of the security forces. Accordingly, the book examines how officers have been affected by the conflict as terrorists adopted a strategy which targeted them both on and off duty. This resulted in a high percentage of officers being killed whilst off duty - sometimes in the company of their wives and children. The experience of officers' wives is also documented thus highlighting the familial impact of terrorism. Generally speaking, the victims of terrorist attacks have received scant scholarly attention which has resulted in victims' experiences being little understood. This piece of work casts a specific and unique light on the nature of victimhood as it has been experienced by members of this branch of the security forces in Northern Ireland.
Book Synopsis Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland by : James Dingley
Download or read book Combating Terrorism in Northern Ireland written by James Dingley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-10-13 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book analyses the lessons which can be drawn from Northern Ireland’s experiences of combating terrorism. The essays in this volume unite analysis and practice in exploring both the conflict in Northern Ireland and the internationally applicable counter-terrorism lessons which can be drawn from the response to it. The contributors, all specialists in their fields, make a theoretical analysis of the underlying causes of terrorism, and explore how this interacts with the development of effective operations and policy responses. The book emphasises the socio-economic and socio-cultural dimensions underlying the problem of terrorism, arguing that short-term, violent/military responses can in fact exacerbate the problem. It highlights the complexity of terrorism as a social phenomenon, and outlines the multi-faceted approach needed to combat it.

Book Synopsis Examining Political Violence by : David Lowe
Download or read book Examining Political Violence written by David Lowe and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security is undermined worldwide from political dissident activity and acts of terrorism targeted at innocent victims with no relation to the offenders. This political violence and terrorism plagues all continents and does not originate solely from jihadist groups. With a view towards developing more effective measures of prevention and resolution, Examining Political Violence: Studies of Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and Internal War examines political violence in various national and international settings. A collection of works, some previously published as articles in the journal Police Practice and Research, the book provides both conceptual analysis and case studies, exploring historical and sociopolitical contexts of conflicts in order to help readers better understand these themes. Divided into three parts, the book begins by defining the concepts of terrorism and radicalization. It discusses countering terrorism through intelligence gathering, examines how a multiagency approach is necessary to be prepared for terrorist acts, and examines different policing models. It discusses the experiences of policing agencies’ investigations into terrorist groups, and examines the targeting of police officers by terrorist groups. Specifying the historical and sociopolitical contexts of conflicts is essential for understanding these themes. Control policies must be grounded in empirical realities, not ideological preferences or aversions. Bringing together theoretical concepts examined through operational and empirical findings, the book is written by academics researching the areas as well as practitioners working in the fields of counterterrorism and political violence. The conclusions drawn from these findings may assist in combating terrorism and political violence around the world.
Book Synopsis Anti-Terrorism Law and Normalising Northern Ireland by : Jessie Blackbourn
Download or read book Anti-Terrorism Law and Normalising Northern Ireland written by Jessie Blackbourn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Ireland peace process has been heralded by those involved as a successful example of transformation from a violent conflict to a peaceful society. This book examines the implementation of the Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland, and evaluates whether its goal to establish a normal, peaceful society has been fully realised. Using the political and legal status of England, Scotland and Wales as a comparison, Jessie Blackbourn evaluates eight aspects of Northern Ireland which the Agreement aimed to normalise: the contested constitutional status of Northern Ireland, the devolution of power, decommissioning, the removal of emergency laws, demilitarisation, police reform, criminal justice reform, and paramilitary prisoners. The book highlights the historical context which gave rise to the need for a programme of normalisation within the Belfast Agreement with respect to these areas and assesses the extent to which that programme of normalisation has been successfully implemented. By evaluating the implementation of the Belfast Agreement, the book demonstrates the difficulties that transitional or post-conflict states face in attempting to wind back extraordinary counter-terrorism policies after periods of violence have been brought to an end. The book will be of great use to students and researchers concerned with the emergence, evolution and repeal of anti-terrorism laws, and anyone interested in the history of the conflict and peace process in Northern Ireland.

Book Synopsis Terrorism Within Comparative International Context by : M.R. Haberfeld
Download or read book Terrorism Within Comparative International Context written by M.R. Haberfeld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introductory chapter of this book presents the concepts of the bene?ts inherent in the study of comparative approach for an effective counterterrorism response on the local law enforcement level and overviews the inception of the project. Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-?rst century, especially after the events of September 11, 2001, the legitimacy of law enforcement practices has been cited as a major concern for international criminal justice. As policing pr- titioners and scholars throughout the world shifted focus from a traditional reactive, crime control stance to the need for accountability mechanisms to ensure the s- port of citizenry in combating crime and terrorism, the democratization of policing was seen as the best mechanism for achieving long-term gains in public order at the same time as protecting human rights. While the need to maintain human rights remains an important issue, balancing these concerns with the important public safety interests of societies is paramount.
Book Synopsis Anti-terrorism Laws by : Kulwant Rai Gupta
Download or read book Anti-terrorism Laws written by Kulwant Rai Gupta and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2002 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorism Now Has Become A World-Wide Phenomenon. During The Last Two Decades The World Has Been Marked By An Increasing Number Of Terrorist Attacks. Terrorism Occurs When A Group, Whether Holding Governmental Office, Or Outside Government, Resolves To Pursue A Set Of Ideological Objectives By Methods Which Not Only Subvert Or Ignore The Requirements Of Domestic And International Law, But Which Rely For Their Success Primarily Upon The Threat Or Use Of Violence. There Are Now Over One Lakh Jehadis All Over The Islamic World, In Afghanistan, Kashmir, Albania, Chechnaya (Russia), Xin-Jiang (China), Central Asia And Elsewhere.The United Nations Has Mandated That All States Must Adopt Necessary Legal Instruments To Prevent Terrorism And Strengthen International Cooperation In Combating Terrorism. Unfortunately The Bill For Converting The Anti-Terrorism Ordinance Of India (Prevention Of Terrorism Ordinance) Into An Act Could Not Be Introduced In The 2001 Winter Session Of The Parliament Due To Resistance Of Some Opposition Parties And Because Of The Need For Unity Of All Political Parties To Meet With The War-Like Situation On The Indo-Pak Horizon.The Book Provides Information About Anti-Terrorism Laws Of Important Countries Like The United States, The United Kingdom, Israel Etc. A Study Of Anti-Terrorism Laws Of These Countries Would Be Of Great Help In Formulating A Similar Law For India And Also In Softening Resistance Of Opposition Parties To Such A Law.It Is Hoped That The Book Would Be Found Useful By The Executives Of The World And Regional Organisations, Non-Government Organisations Concerned With World Peace And Security, Government Executives And Parliamentarians In Different Countries Concerned With Tackling Terrorism, Students Of Political Science And Law And The Common Man Interested In Day-To-Day World Affairs.
