 A man inspired by Islamic State drives a truck into a crowd of students at Ohio State University and then continues to attack students with a knife

Event #1 – 11/28/2016:  A man inspired by Islamic State drives a truck into a crowd of students at Ohio State University and then continues to attack students with a knife.

Homeland Security professionals do not study terrorism for no purpose. They study in order to rationally assess threats to security and inform decisions on how to deter, prevent, mitigate, and respond to these terror threats. Throughout your textbook, Gus Martin provided examples of threat assessment in each chapter: Activity Profiles.

The point of these activity profiles is to frame the unique problem that each and every terrorist – whether individual or a group – presents to the Homeland Security professional. This course has demonstrated the complexity of terrorism; now you will frame a terrorist event and draw conclusions on how that event impacts the implementation of new measures to enhance safety and security.

“How can we examine a terrorist attack in order to assess threats to the future security of the United States at home or Americans abroad?”

The point of this Final is not to develop a counter terrorism plan (that is CJ454). For this Final, you are providing the assessment that forms the basis for a future plan.
