Abstract: A critical review of terrorist-related legislation and the monitoring of new legislation that poses an issue of regulatory concern for banks and financial institutions are discussed. The UN International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, the Executive Order 13224, and the Patriot Act are a few of the legal provisions being amended to interdict the financing of terrorist activity.

Notes: (Available full text on CJPI)
Abstract: Baldwin diagnoses money laundering countermeasures by focusing primarily upon the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, which is intended as a counter-terrorism response to the terrorist acts in the US on September 11, 2001. In addition to an analysis of the Patriot Act, Baldwin examines the legislative history, funding of terrorism, protection of terrorists funds by 'user-friendly' banks and states, and the early implementation of the many controversial and non-controversial provisions of the Act by the US Congress and the President.

Barker, Jonathan. The No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism. London, UK: Verso, 2003.
Call Number: HV 6431.B374 2003
Abstract: Since the events of 9/11, the propaganda uses of the word `terrorism` have multiplied, and it has never been clearer that one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. This No-Nonsense Guide looks at debates about September 11 and responses to it, but also tries to get behind the causes and contexts of both group terrorism and state terrorism.

Abstract: The age of Sacred Terror provides a staggering account of the origins of al-Qaeda, its motives, and its bloody history since the early 1990s. This book is also the chilling story of how slow and reluctant the West has been to recognize and counter an enemy whose intentions are more deadly than any it has ever faced. The events of September 11, 2001, changed the world: ours has truly become the age of sacred terror. This book explains in great detail how those events were possible, how they might have been avoided, and how they could occur again.

Borum, Randy. "Understanding the Terrorist Mind-Set." FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin (July 2003): pp. 7-10.
Abstract: Borum discusses the four observable stages that appear to frame a process of ideological development common to many individuals and groups of diverse ideological backgrounds, which include framing some unsatisfying event or condition as being unjust; blaming the injustice on a target policy, person, or nation; and then vilifying, often demonizing, the responsible party to facilitate justification for aggression. He further concludes that those facing the task of safeguarding their nation will do so most effectively when armed with a thorough understanding of terrorist ideology and behavior.

Abstract: Bulzomi discusses the impact of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 on the use of surveillance and physical searches authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) to combat foreign threats. The act amends FISA so that intelligence officials may coordinate efforts with law enforcement officials to investigate or protect against attacks, terrorism, or clandestine intelligence activities without undermining the required certification of the significant purpose of FISA orders.

Abstract: American law enforcement faces a difficult and dangerous task in investigating international terrorism. The goal of these investigations is to identify terrorist, deter future terrorist attacks, seize financial assets and build cases that will lead to the conviction of those involved in terrorist acts.

The book sheds light on how these activities have gone undetected for decades while terrorists have recruited thousands to their ranks and millions to their cause, amassing fortunes in the process.

Etten, John Van. "Impacts of Domestic Security on Law Enforcement Agencies." Police Chief (February 2004): pp. 31-35.
Abstract: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 thrust local law enforcement agencies into a new age of domestic security. One of the responses to this trauma was the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The newly formed department uses all available resources in a national effort to prevent terrorist attacks. The cost of security will take the form of ensuring that police have adequate personnel and equipment, planning, and training to improve response to domestic terrorist attacks. It will be important for law enforcement agencies to be able to measure and assess their capabilities for dealing with these security concerns.

Laqueur, Walter. History of Terrorism. New Brunswick, NJ: Transaction, 2001.
Call Number: HV 6431.L348 2001
Abstract: Assassinations, bombings, hijackings, diplomatic kidnappings---terrorism is the most publicized form of political violence. The history of terrorism goes back a very long time, but the very fact that there is such a history has frequently been ignored, even suppressed. This may be because terrorism has not appeared with equal intensity at all times. When terrorism reappeared in the late twentieth century after a period of relative calm, there was the tendency to regard it as a new phenomenon, without precedent. The psychological study of terrorism has never been much in fashion, but this neglect has left a number of crucial questions unanswered. Among these are why some people who share the same convictions turn to terrorism and others do not. What is terrorism's true impact on international politics? What influence might it exert in the future?

Myjer, Eric P. J. and Nigel D. White. "The Twin Towers Attack: An Unlimited Right to Self-Defence?" Journal of Conflict & Security (April 2002): pp. 5-17.
Notes: (Available full text on CJPI, Criminal Justice Periodicals Index)
Abstract: This article considers the limited role of international organizations (the UN and NATO) in Operation Enduring Freedom against Afghanistan. Both organizations have played a peripheral role, legitimating, but not regulating the use of force by the United States. This seems to be part of a continuing process of attempting to widen customary rights while eroding the effective powers of organizations. The consequences for collective security and the international legal order are immense.

Nixon, Mike. "Commentary: Domestic Terrorism Must Be Punished." St. Charles County Business Record, MO (May 17, 2002): pp. 1-2.
Notes: (Available full text on Infotrac)
Abstract: The Bush Administration and the U.S. Justice Department must show they are as serious about fighting domestic terrorism as they are international terrorism, with the purpose of protecting private citizens and homeland businesses. Terrorists are terrorists, and no excuse justifies their actions, whether those actions originate in the embattled areas of the Middle East, the jungles of Southeast Asia, the mountains of Afghanistan, the poverty of inner-city slums, the seclusion of rural hideaways or the mean streets of suburbia.

Prados, John [ed.]. America Confronts Terrorism. Chicago, IL: Ivan R. Dee, 2002.
Call Number: HV 6432.A47 2002
Abstract: Until September 11, 2001, Americans showed little interest in programs aimed at combating terrorism. Now the demands for action reflect feverish desires to strike at the enemy, a diffuse, mostly hidden array of ethnic, political and religious groups with widely varied agendas. Now the rush to respond is still based on scant information, ignoring a great deal of material available in the United States and routinely circulated by the U.S. government. America Confronts Terrorism aims to fill the gap.

Talbott, Strobe and Nayan Chanda [eds.] The Age of Terror. New York: Basic, 2001.
Call Number: HV 6432.A43 2001
Abstract: September 11 marked the beginning of a new era, an age of terror in which counter-terrorism will be one of the highest priorities of national governments and international institutions. While the resolve to do whatever necessary to combat terrorism will remain undiminished, a great debate has already begun: What exactly is to be done? The answer will depend, in large measure, on the answer to a prior question: What happened and why? In The Age of Terror, an agenda-setting team of experts begins to answer this question and examines the considerations and objectives of policy decisions in post September 11 America.
