Countering Terrorism: No Simple Solutions by Crenshaw, Martha [Paperback]

Description: Counterterrorism experts Martha Crenshaw and Gary LaFree provide a comprehensive critical look at how the US has dealt with the terror threat over the years. They argue that the US still finds it difficult to define just who and what it is they are fighting and at the same time has yet to determine what is the best way to deter or eradicate terror threats. Martha Crenshaw is a senior fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) and the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, as well as professor of political science, by courtesy, at Stanford University. She is also professor of government emerita at Wesleyan University and a lead investigator with the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and the Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland. Gary LaFree is professor of criminology and criminal justice and director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland. He is a past president of the American Society of Criminology, a member of the Attorney General's Science Advisory Board, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Law and Justice.
