In response to the current terrorist threat, law enforcement agencies at every level have expanded technological and intelligence-gathering initiatives in order to support new tactical, investigative and deployment strategies. The demand for homeland security requires that agencies hire professional and specially-trained criminal and intelligence analysts to find and pre-empt any potential threat. Agencies must now determine how to train these analysts and properly identify and respond to critical intelligence. Terrorism and Organized Hate Crime: Intelligence Gathering, Analysis, and Investigations provides a framework for exploring the issues that all new or existing analysts and investigators must face, including what information to gather, how to analyze it, and the effectiveness of crime analysts investigating terrorism. Training in proactive analytical-based investigation has been around for less than thirty years. Events now mandate that unavoidable importance of understanding "terrorism analysis." This expert overview provides the crucial foundation of criminal intelligence gathering and analysis and defines the nature of terrorism and its practitioners, subjects of vital importance if local agencies are to play an effective role in the battle against terror.

Traditionally, law enforcement agencies react to isolated crimes in insulated jurisdictions. With the rise of terrorism, law enforcement agencies can no longer afford to operate blindly. The only way to maintain an edge on this nebulous and insidious enemy is through proactive intervention. Law enforcement must gather good raw data, transform it through trained analysis, and communicate high quality intelligence to every relevant agency. Extensively updated and expanded, Terrorism and Organized Hate Crime, Second Edition prepares law enforcement analysts and administrators in the fight against terrorism. The author draws from his substantial experience in analytical intelligence, both in the field and as a nationally recognized instructor. Packed with new case studies and detailed scenarios, the book illustrates the best ways to learn from previous attacks. It stresses the importance of producing high quality, usable intelligence from raw data, and teaches proven methods of interpreting that intelligence to anticipate terrorist behavior. New in the Second Edition: 
<li>Examines religious connections between Islamic Sects and extremist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Wahhabii organizations, and the Muslim Brotherhood </li> <li>Outlines methodology and parameters of intelligence gathering by focusing on pre incident indicators used to anticipate and identify behavior patterns</li> <li>Highlights the vulnerability of transportation systems including planes, trains, ships, and personal vehicles </li> <li>Explains how modern technology and the Internet are exploited by terrorists and used by law enforcement to track them </li> <li>Updates a glossary of terrorist terminology with Cyber and Islamic terms</li> Terrorism and Organized Hate Crime, Second Edition provides the necessary framework for law enforcement and intelligence agencies to make fact-based assessments and implement dynamic and flexible strategies to combat the multifaceted nature of local, regional, national, and international terrorism.
