| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Patrick S. Roberts examines the basic functions of homeland security, including defense against terrorist, natural, and industrial disasters. He concludes that the prevailing understanding of homeland security in theory and in practice undervalues the role of "mitigation," or reducing the damage when disasters occur. |
