"Crime and Terrorism Risk is a must read for students of policing and security management. Kennedy and McGarrell's special collection of articles highlights changes in risk management that have occurred since the September 11 attacks. An adequate understanding of this shift in thinking is imperative for undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice and public policy and Kennedy and McGarrell have provided the perfect forum." – Brent Smith, Sociology and Criminal Justice, University of Arkansas "Kennedy and McGarrell’s collection of essays explores largely uncharted terrain using the concept of risk assessment as their guiding light. The book will be especially valuable for terrorism and crime researchers and for students of criminal justice, homeland security, and risk assessment." – Gary LaFree, Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Maryland, College Park"This text provides a unique collection of essays which address many diverse problems rarely discussed together in the literature. The valuable chapters on defining and responding to new risks frame the debate on crime and terrorism in a way that should be of interest to a broad range of policy makers." – Louise Shelley, Public Policy, George Mason University "The editors of this book masterfully place a modern understanding of terrorism within the context of street crime, transnational crime, and other criminal threats, making it equally accessible to criminology students and their instructors. It will prove to be an invaluable resource for students of risk management." – Kelly Damphousse, Sociology, University of Oklahmoa
