Front Cover; The Science and Technology of Counterterrorism: Measuring Physical and Electronic Security Risk; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgments; About the Author; Preface; Part I: Modeling Terrorism Risk; Chapter 1: Terrorism Threats, Risk, and Risk Assessments; 1.1. Introduction: Decisions and Risk; 1.2. Threats and the Components of Risk; 1.3. Risk Assessments; 1.4. Security Risk Trade-Offs; 1.5. Security Risk in Context; 1.6. Risk Factors; 1.7. Counterterrorism Controls; 1.8. Counterterrorism Methods; 1.9. Operational Requirements; 1.10. Performance Specifications.

Scientists with little or no background in security and security professionals with little or no background in science and technology often have difficulty communicating in order to implement the best counterterrorism strategies. The Science and Technology of Counterterrorism offers the necessary theoretical foundation to address real-world terrorism scenarios, effectively bridging the gap. It provides a powerful security assessment methodology, coupled with counterterrorism strategies that are applicable to all terrorism attack vectors. These include biological, chemical, radiological, electromagnetic, explosive, and electronic or cyber attacks. In addition to rigorous estimates of threat vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of risk mitigation, it provides meaningful terrorism risk metrics.
