Quantitative risk-based analysis for military counterterrorism systems
This paper presents a realistic and practical approach to quantitatively assess the risk-reduction capabilities of military counterterrorism systems in terms of damage cost and casualty figures. The comparison of alternatives is thereby based on absolute quantities rather than an aggregated utility or value provided by multicriteria decision analysis methods. The key elements of the approach ar...
متن کاملEriksonian Identity Theory in Counterterrorism
Certain terrorists come from unexpected backgrounds. They give up comfortable lives and opportunities in order to wage jihad. Their existence has puzzled various theorists since they came to light. This article will explain how a theory of psychosocial identity formation created by Erik Erikson and his student James Marcia may explain this phenomenon.

It is hard to know what such patterns look like and, in any case, terrorists are actively trying to avoid leaving any distinctive traces. However, if they work as a group, it is impossible to avoid some correlation among their attributes and actions. We show that such correlation can be detected, partly because ...

Last month’s attacks on Westminster Bridge and in Paris bear this out. But does this mean that doctors should change how they behave? The gove...
متن کاملCamera Surveillance as a Measure of Counterterrorism?

In particular, we emph...
