| Summary/Abstract |
The study of countering terrorism came to the fore following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in New York. The study has taken many paths. These include looking at the sociology/psychology of the terrorist or terrorist group, the understanding of terrorist organisations, the use of risk management techniques to identify targets that may be of interests to terrorists, the design of security infrastructure to counter or ward off terrorism and the consideration of how built infrastructure/environment may be strengthened to mitigate the effects of terrorism.
