Domestic terrorism / Gary Wiener, book editor.

Wiener, Gary, (editor.).

Resumen:

"We think we know it when we see it, but what is domestic terrorism exactly? Part of the confusion may stem from the fact that there is hesitancy among top federal agencies to define it. Starting with the reasons why this is so, this volume explores whether serious concerns about domestic terrorism are justified, if there are situations when domestic terrorism is justified, how politicians and the media may be stoking domestic terrorism, and what efforts could lead to the prevention of domestic terrorism incidents"-- Provided by publisher.
