Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism

Last updated

Aims and Scope

The Journal of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism (JPICT) provides a global platform for professional research connected to policing, intelligence, and terrorism studies, and the complex relationships between each field. JPICT requires authentic theoretical and conceptual perspectives and insights, in combination with current empirical research relating to relevant and contemporary security issues. Published research stems from multi-disciplined approaches that target the creation of unity between academic and practitioner fields.

The Journal gives exclusive priority to research that critiques and evaluates the professional and practical aspects of policing, intelligence, and counter terrorism, and explores the complexities of the working relationship between each area of expertise. Valued contributions may target a specific issue, provide detailed empirical research, may combine original research with practical applications, and may involve the professional knowledge of practitioners and policymakers. The interactive Forum section allows for informed debate and innovative perspectives to be shared in a professional setting.

The Journal creates an indispensable and informative addition to the professional library of academics, practitioners and policymakers engaging with policing, intelligence, and terrorism and counter-terrorism.

<i>Terrorist Recognition Handbook</i> Book by Malcolm Nance

Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Practitioner's Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities is a non-fiction book about counterterrorism strategies, written by U.S. Navy retired cryptology analyst Malcolm Nance. The book is intended to help law enforcement and intelligence officials with the professional practice of behavior analysis and criminal psychology of anticipating potential terrorists before they commit criminal acts. Nance draws from the field of traditional criminal analysis to posit that detecting domestic criminals is similar to determining which individuals are likely to commit acts of terrorism. The book provides resources for the law enforcement official including descriptions of devices used for possible bombs, a database of terrorist networks, and a list of references used. Nance gives the reader background on Al-Qaeda tactics, clandestine cell systems and sleeper agents, and terrorist communication methods.
