Terrorism and the threat of terrorism affect U.S. policy—but they also affect American citizens. Our policymakers and elected officials are focused on ways to prevent terrorist attacks, as well as on ways to react in the event of an attack. In this specialization, you will study the legislation and policy that has been created to keep the United States and U.S. allies safe from terrorism. Examine the roots of terrorist behavior, both at home and abroad, and investigate strategies that have been implemented to intervene before terrorists can strike. Explore the effect that terrorism has on communities and on individuals, and delve into the ethical issues related to human rights and individual freedoms.
