Introduction to Homeland Security, Seventh Edition, offers a trusted, practical overview of core concepts and bedrock principles of homeland security. Written by renowned experts in the field, this book thoroughly considers the broad range of topics that fall within homeland security and how and why they are so closely interconnected. The text also provides an overview of the evolution of modern homeland security structures, why each homeland security function exists, and how it contributes to national and local security efforts. Unlike most books that focus solely on terrorism, this text covers an expansive range of homeland security topics, including all-hazards emergency management, cybersecurity, border and transportation security, immigration and customs enforcement, and others. Students and new professionals alike will gain an enhanced understanding of key terminology and concepts in the field, while applied case studies demonstrate how to put knowledge into practice.
Fully updated throughout, the new edition includes revised workflows and communications, and explanations of FEMA and legislative homeland security policies, along with fully updated sections on evolving terrorist threats, expanded forms of terrorism, major terrorist incidents in recent history, revised strategic planning directives, counterterrorism approaches, border security, transportation security and safety, cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection, All-Hazards Emergency Response and Recovery, and homeland security communication and security technology. Student and faculty use is supported by an expanded ancillary package, featuring a fuller instructor manual, lecture PowerPoint Slides, and linked documents, data sets, references, and video examples.
