It is remarkable particularly for those at the state and local level charged with countering terrorism, and even more so for those assigned to fusion centers who are required to think critically on this subject because it moves well beyond the traditional frames for assessing terrorists and terrorism this book provides a methodology for understanding terrorism by first recognizing and interpreting intergroup behavior. -- Ray Guidetti, Law Enforcement veteran and former Vice President of the National Fusion Center Association A Practitioner s Way Forward is a powerful tool for counterterrorism practitioners. It is eminently readable and impressively substantive, and provides a thoughtful way for practitioners to think about terrorism, conduct analysis, and utilize methodologically-sophisticated approaches.

Dr. Greg Zacharias, former Chief Scientist of the United States Air Force (2015-18), explores next steps in autonomous systems (AS) development, fielding, and training. Rapid advances in AS development and artificial intelligence (AI) research will change how we think about machines, whether they are individual vehicle platforms or networked enterprises.

The Cambridge Handbook of Surveillance Law
Author: David GrayPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110850938X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1762
Book Description
Surveillance presents a conundrum: how to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency while respecting privacy and individual liberty. From police officers to corporations to intelligence agencies, surveillance law is tasked with striking this difficult and delicate balance. That challenge is compounded by ever-changing technologies and evolving social norms. Following the revelations of Edward Snowden and a host of private-sector controversies, there is intense interest among policymakers, business leaders, attorneys, academics, students, and the public regarding legal, technological, and policy issues relating to surveillance. This Handbook documents and organizes these conversations, bringing together some of the most thoughtful and impactful contributors to contemporary surveillance debates, policies, and practices. Its pages explore surveillance techniques and technologies; their value for law enforcement, national security, and private enterprise; their impacts on citizens and communities; and the many ways societies do - and should - regulate surveillance.
