Foundations of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Complete guide to understanding homeland security law
The newly revised and updated Third Edition of Foundations of Homeland Security and Emergency Management enables readers to develop a conceptual understanding of the legal foundations of homeland security and emergency management (HSEM) by presenting the primary source law and policy documents we have established to address "all hazards," both terrorism and natural disasters. The book demonstrates that HSEM involves many specialties and that it must be viewed expansively and in the long-term.
The Third Edition has more sources than previous editions and is streamlined with fewer long quotations. It highlights only those portions of the various documents and statutes necessary to provide the reader an understanding of what the law is designed to accomplish.
Foundations of Homeland Security and Emergency Management includes information on:
- WMD, now expanded to include Pandemic Laws
- Political extremism, domestic threats, Posse Comitatus Act, and Insurrection Act
- Space Law, comparative Drone Law with Japan, HSEM in Puerto Rico
- Homeland Security Legal Architecture before 9/11
- Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues in Homeland Security
- Critical Infrastructure Protection, Resiliency, and Culture of Preparedness
With its accessible format, plethora of primary source documentation, and comprehensive coverage of the subject, this book is an essential resource for professionals and advanced students in law enforcement, national and homeland security, emergency management, intelligence, and critical infrastructure protection.
