This timely treatise introduces an innovative
prevention/preparedness model for cities to address and counter
terrorist threats and events. It offers theoretical background,
mixed-method research, and tools for creating a resilience-based
response to terrorism, as opposed to the security-based frameworks
commonly in use worldwide. The extended example of Milan as a
“resilient-healthy” city pinpoints sociological, political, and
economic factors that contribute to terror risk, and outlines how
law enforcement and emergency management professionals can adopt
more proactive measures. From these observations and findings, the
author also makes recommendations for the professional training and
city planning sectors to address preparedness issues, and for
community inclusion programs to deter criminal activities in
at-risk youth.
