Assignment task:
Dr. Steven Weine said, "terrorism is a global problem, but it is also a local one. Individual terrorists, particularly lone wolves, are often linked to their communities in terms of their resentments, ambitions, and targets. Not surprisingly, making local communities comfortable with law enforcement is a vital part of counterterrorism. Programs to encourage this, however, are often underdeveloped and under-researched" and this can be true for sure.
In this course, we talked extensively about community policing and problem-oriented policing, the role of patrol in its application, and proactive versus reactive policing. Would you agree or disagree with Dr. Weine? Can the various programs we discussed help prevent terrorism and counter violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism in our communities?
