About this ebook

Numerous authors compare or describe national responses to terrorism by using typologies. This paper synthesizes this prior work into a typological framework. The basis for the framework emerged when mapping the different claims of each author and noticing a distinct dearth of variance among how the authors described the characteristics of three traditional models of responding to terrorism. A proper mapping of this information revealed crucial holes in the typologies. A thorough search for studies and papers revealing the nature of the three models helped to resolve these questions. The framework includes the views and definitions from twenty-seven articles, books, and other sources originating from a range of scholastic backgrounds including political science, military studies, criminology, and law.

    Introduction

    Prior research on state level responses to terrorism and comparisons of these responses frequently differentiates between two clear cut models of interaction: the criminal justice model, and the war model.¹ Referred to as the militarisation of the police and the polisification of the military,² many academics
