CRJ 317 - Terrorism and Homeland Security

The course will examine international terrorist events from the 20th and 21st centuries, focusing not only on religious (Jihadist and right-wing Christian) groups, but also Separatist, Nationalistic, Endemic, Revolutionary, and Maoist terrorist groups. The course addresses issues of domestic terrorism and includes a critical look at the United States pre-9/11 espionage community, their handling of the information leading up to the attack. It concludes with the subsequent restructuring of duties and the formation of the Department of Homeland Security, and local police role within that restructuring.
