Terror, Security, and Money
Balancing the Risks, Benefits, and Costs of Homeland Security
Gebonden Engels 2011 9780199795758Samenvatting
In Terrorism, Security, and Money, John Mueller, one of America's most trenchant critics of America's drive for enhanced security at all costs, teams up with Mark Stewart, a civil engineering professor and recognized authority on risk assessment for the built infrastructure, to put forth a more rational and cost-effective approach to managing domestic security. Instead of offering a critical account of the situation we're in, Mueller and Stewart instead focus on providing solutions based on the risk assessment science. After cataloguing the mistakes that the US has made (and continues to make), like spending wildly on ill-considered plans to mitigate unlikely threats, they offer tools-based probabilistic risk assessment that have the potential to redirect our efforts toward a more productive--and far more cost-effective--course.
