Gangs, Hooligans, and Anarchists—the Vanguard of Netwar in the Streets1
نویسنده
چکیده
Editors’ abstract. Street-level netwar is just around the corner. Sullivan (L.A. County Sheriff ’s Office) observes how gangs, hooligans, and anarchists are evolving so as to develop capacities for waging netwar. He concludes his analysis by affirming the need to build interagency networks to counter the networked adversaries now coming over the law enforcement horizon. This chapter updates and expands upon a series of his earlier papers, notably “Urban Gangs Evolving as Criminal Netwar Actors,” Small Wars and Insurgencies, Vol. 11, No. 1, Spring 2000.
