Book Synopsis Victims as Security Threats by : EDWARD. MOGIRE
Download or read book Victims as Security Threats written by EDWARD. MOGIRE and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The refugee phenomenon is a major force in international politics. This is more so in sub-Saharan Africa where refugees are major actors in the affairs of their home and host countries. But, are refugees just victims of insecurity or also major causes of insecurity? Mogire analyses how and why refugees, victims of insecurity caused by persecution and the many incessant conflicts which continue unabated, have come to be viewed by scholars and practitioners as security threats. Using Kenya and Tanzania as empirical case studies, this volume examines the nature of this threat, its projection and responses. Moreover, it highlights how, if at all, these threats are different or similar to other security threats faced by these countries.

Book Synopsis Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-08-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oklahoma City bombing, intentional crashing of airliners on September 11, 2001, and anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001 have made Americans acutely aware of the impacts of terrorism. These events and continued threats of terrorism have raised questions about the impact on the psychological health of the nation and how well the public health infrastructure is able to meet the psychological needs that will likely result. Preparing for the Psychological Consequences of Terrorism highlights some of the critical issues in responding to the psychological needs that result from terrorism and provides possible options for intervention. The committee offers an example for a public health strategy that may serve as a base from which plans to prevent and respond to the psychological consequences of a variety of terrorism events can be formulated. The report includes recommendations for the training and education of service providers, ensuring appropriate guidelines for the protection of service providers, and developing public health surveillance for preevent, event, and postevent factors related to psychological consequences.
Book Synopsis Human Trafficking as a New (In)Security Threat by : Elżbieta M. Goździak
Download or read book Human Trafficking as a New (In)Security Threat written by Elżbieta M. Goździak and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security and Human Trafficking is a significant contribution to our holistic understanding of the interplay of human trafficking and national security. Elzbieta Gozdziak challenges the famous oratory on these issues by disentangling factual truths from populist rhetorics by focusing on rich empirical data collected in Hungary, Poland, and the United States. - Ludmila Bogdan, Ph.D., immigration and human trafficking scholar at Harvard University. In her book, Dr. Elzbieta Gozdziak brings her two decades of ethnographic expertise on human trafficking and international migration to powerfully critique of the conflation of human trafficking and migration with other kinds of national security threats such as terrorism and organized crime. She masterfully shows how the inaccurate framing of human trafficking as a security threat in the United States and Europe has led to costly and high stakes policy actions, such as enhanced border control, immigration, and surveillance measures, that can actually increase insecurity and lead to other kinds of negative economic, military, and diplomatic consequences. If we really care about solving the problem of human trafficking, Gozdziak's call to open up and interrogate policy framings and demand better empirical data to justify those framings will lead to better policy solutions and outcomes to combat human trafficking on the ground. Security and Human Trafficking is a must-read for students, experts, and practitioners interested in the nexus of human trafficking, migration, and national security. -Kathleen M. Vogel, Ph.D, Professor and Deputy Director, School for the Future of Innovation in Society, Tempe, Arizona. Vogel is co-author of Human Trafficking Trends in the Western Hemisphere. This book challenges the popular rhetoric linking 'war on terror' with 'war on human trafficking' by juxtaposing lived experiences of survivors of trafficking, refugees, and labor migrants with macro-level security concerns. Part One of the book presents the historical antecedents and contemporary manifestations of human trafficking and its links to national security. Part Two focuses on the Other-refugees and asylum seekers-perceived as a national security threat. Goździak spotlights the US refugee resettlement program-its history, slow erosion, and the current danger of possible elimination-and argues that a robust refugee resettlement is not a threat but an asset to the national security. Using examples from Hungary and Poland, the following chapter shows how human trafficking has replaced migration in public narratives, policy responses, and practice with refugees. Part Three analyzes lived experiences of (in)security of trafficked victims, irregular migrants, and asylum seekers in the USA and in Europe, with a special focus on unaccompanied children and adolescents. The concluding chapter asks how security concerns stemming from human trafficking can be reconciled with the need to protect victims. Elżbieta M. Goździak is Visiting Professor at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Previously, she was Research Professor at the Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM) at Georgetown University. She held the George Soros Visiting Chair in Public Policy at the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest.
Download or read book Invisible Victims written by Laura Huey and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Western society's preoccupation with safety and protection, its most vulnerable members still lack access to the level of security that many of us take for granted. In this trailblazing study, Laura Huey illustrates the issue of a 'security gap' faced by increasing homeless populations: while they are among the most likely victims of crime, they are also among the least served by existing forms of state and private security. Invisible Victims presents the first comprehensive, integrated study of the risks faced by homeless people and their attempts to find safety and security in often dangerous environments. Huey draws not only on current debates on security within criminology, but also on a decade's worth of her own field research on the victimization and policing of the homeless. A theoretically and empirically informed examination of the myriad issues affecting the homeless, Invisible Victims makes a compelling case for society to provide necessary services and, above all, a basic level of security for this population.

Book Synopsis Intimate Partner Violence, Risk and Security by : Kate Fitz-Gibbon
Download or read book Intimate Partner Violence, Risk and Security written by Kate Fitz-Gibbon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection addresses intimate partner violence, risk and security as global issues. Although intimate partner violence, risk and security are intimately connected they are rarely considered in tandem in the context of global security. Yet, intimate partner violence causes widespread physical, sexual and/or psychological harm. It is the most common type of violence against women internationally and is estimated to affect 30 per cent of women worldwide. Intimate partner violence has received significant attention in recent years, animating political debate, policy and law reform as well as scholarly attention. In bringing together a range of international experts, this edited collection challenges status quo understandings of risk and questions how we can reposition the risk of IPV, and particularly the risk of IPH, as a critical site of global and national security. It brings together contributions from a range of disciplines and international jurisdictions, including from Australia and New Zealand, United Kingdom, Europe, United States, North America, Brazil and South Africa. The contributions here urge us to think about perpetrators in more nuanced and sophisticated ways with chapters pointing to the structural and social factors that facilitate and sustain violence against women and IPV. Contributors point out that states not only exacerbate the structural conditions producing the risks of violence, but directly coerce and control women as both citizens and non-citizens. States too should be understood as collaborators and facilitators of intimate partner violence. Effective action against intimate partner violence requires sustained responses at the global, state and local levels to end gender inequality. Critical to this end are environmental issues, poverty and the divisions, often along ‘race’ and ethnic lines, underpinning other dimensions of social and economic inequality.
Book Synopsis Secrets & Protection by : Phrantceena Halres
Download or read book Secrets & Protection written by Phrantceena Halres and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It Starts with You. We are on the verge of a critical movement in this country, one where each individual will start to recognize how easy it is to make a difference in the security of our country. This collective consciousness will change the face of national security. This is why it is important to understand that YOU, as well as every other US citizen, can make a difference. Very few Americans are aware of the fact that 12 million violent crimes are committed per year in the United States, with an estimated one fifth of the population falling victim to these crimes. Aside from that, it is well-known that the threat of terrorism is always prevalent, allusive and in many cases, "invisible." We have domestic threats from criminals, as well as foreign threats from terrorists. But how can an individual citizen make a real difference in the protection of America? It can be done and it is easier than you think.Liberty and security do not compete in a zero-sum game. Our freedoms are the very foundation of our strength and security. But the very definition of security usually requires a few questions that need to be answered before security measures are put in place. Who or what are we trying to protect? Who or what are we trying to protect it from? It stands to reason that, in light of the recent shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, we have a lot more to protect than just ourselves. We have families, neighborhoods, communities, businesses and the nation that all need our attention. That's why it is so important for us to rededicate efforts to our personal and national security to ensure that what transpires in the course of our daily lives is protected. There exist various types of safety. There is personal safety and there is community safety, the latter of which falls under local, state and national security. To begin with personal safety, experts for decades have long studied what makes an individual more likely to be the target of any given crime. As for national security, those aims and targets are more difficult to see, but can also be deterred with the same awareness. I want to help you understand one main foundation of personal and community safety, which exists in all of us. It's that innate feeling we have when we know something isn't right in a situation or an environment. It is the hair that stands up on our neck when we know that danger is imminent. I call this our "sixth sense," which is the ability to intrinsically perceive possible threats without consciously knowing where that threat is coming from. Think about it. How many of us have the ability to naturally sense when something feels "off," yet these feelings are often dismissed or mocked? Humans are the only animals who sense danger, yet walk right into it. Rather than offend the person who has triggered our fear instinct, we usually choose being polite over being safe. For example, we might politely enter an elevator with a person who, for some unknown reason, has triggered our fear instinct rather than risk appearing rude and waiting for the next elevator.What people do not know is that there is now solid scientific evidence that their "sixth sense" can save their life. "Instinct Science" is a rapidly emerging branch of research that studies the connection between subtle feelings and impending danger. Consider that even the U.S. Navy includes the word "6th sense" in their combat training briefs, citing that some soldiers use it to feel danger before an enemy attack. This may sound contrary to your conditioned beliefs of practicality and polite well-being, but how many times have you heard crime victims report having a "gut instinct" or warning prior to the actual incident. The subsequent ignoring of these "gut instincts" was followed with a crime that could have otherwise been avoided or minimized had these "gut instincts" or warnings been heeded and respected as possible truths.
Book Synopsis At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy by : National Research Council
Download or read book At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We depend on information and information technology (IT) to make many of our day-to-day tasks easier and more convenient. Computers play key roles in transportation, health care, banking, and energy. Businesses use IT for payroll and accounting, inventory and sales, and research and development. Modern military forces use weapons that are increasingly coordinated through computer-based networks. Cybersecurity is vital to protecting all of these functions. Cyberspace is vulnerable to a broad spectrum of hackers, criminals, terrorists, and state actors. Working in cyberspace, these malevolent actors can steal money, intellectual property, or classified information; impersonate law-abiding parties for their own purposes; damage important data; or deny the availability of normally accessible services. Cybersecurity issues arise because of three factors taken together - the presence of malevolent actors in cyberspace, societal reliance on IT for many important functions, and the presence of vulnerabilities in IT systems. What steps can policy makers take to protect our government, businesses, and the public from those would take advantage of system vulnerabilities? At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy offers a wealth of information on practical measures, technical and nontechnical challenges, and potential policy responses. According to this report, cybersecurity is a never-ending battle; threats will evolve as adversaries adopt new tools and techniques to compromise security. Cybersecurity is therefore an ongoing process that needs to evolve as new threats are identified. At the Nexus of Cybersecurity and Public Policy is a call for action to make cybersecurity a public safety priority. For a number of years, the cybersecurity issue has received increasing public attention; however, most policy focus has been on the short-term costs of improving systems. In its explanation of the fundamentals of cybersecurity and the discussion of potential policy responses, this book will be a resource for policy makers, cybersecurity and IT professionals, and anyone who wants to understand threats to cyberspace.

Book Synopsis Emerging Cyber Threats and Cognitive Vulnerabilities by : Vladlena Benson
Download or read book Emerging Cyber Threats and Cognitive Vulnerabilities written by Vladlena Benson and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging Cyber Threats and Cognitive Vulnerabilities identifies the critical role human behavior plays in cybersecurity and provides insights into how human decision-making can help address rising volumes of cyberthreats. The book examines the role of psychology in cybersecurity by addressing each actor involved in the process: hackers, targets, cybersecurity practitioners and the wider social context in which these groups operate. It applies psychological factors such as motivations, group processes and decision-making heuristics that may lead individuals to underestimate risk. The goal of this understanding is to more quickly identify threat and create early education and prevention strategies. This book covers a variety of topics and addresses different challenges in response to changes in the ways in to study various areas of decision-making, behavior, artificial intelligence, and human interaction in relation to cybersecurity. Explains psychological factors inherent in machine learning and artificial intelligence Discusses the social psychology of online radicalism and terrorist recruitment Examines the motivation and decision-making of hackers and "hacktivists" Investigates the use of personality psychology to extract secure information from individuals

Book Synopsis Defendants and Victims in International Criminal Justice by : Juan Pablo Perez-Leon-Acevedo
Download or read book Defendants and Victims in International Criminal Justice written by Juan Pablo Perez-Leon-Acevedo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers a variety of key issues pertaining to the rights of defendants and victims at International Criminal Courts (ICTs) and explores how best to balance and enhance the rights of both in order to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of international criminal proceedings. The rights of victims are becoming an increasingly important issue at ICTs. Yet, at the same time, this has to be achieved without having a detrimental impact upon on the rights of the defence and the efficiency of the courts. This book provides analyses of issues on the rights of both the accused and the victims. By discussing matters concerning these two pivotal actors in international criminal justice within the same volume, the work highlights that there are intrinsic and intense conflicting and converging relationships between victims and the accused, particularly in terms of their rights. While most of the chapters focus mainly on either the accused or the victims, others discuss both at the same time. The work strikes a fine balance between, on the one hand, classic topics on the rights of the accused and the rights of the victims and, on the other, topics which have been largely unexplored and/or which require new angles or perspectives. Additionally, there are some chapters which approach both the rights of the accused and the rights of the victims in new contexts and/or under novel perspectives. The book as a whole provides a discussion of the two sides of this important coin of international criminal justice. The work will be an essential resource for academics, practitioners and students with an interest in the field of international criminal law. It will also be of interest to human rights scholars who are working with the rights of victims and the accused.
