Conceptual Model and Hypotheses
Conceptual Model - The role of the conceptual model is to translate theoretical constructs, such as organizational preparedness, into operationalized visual representations (Van de Ven, 2007) to guide further study and research. An integrative conceptual model that operationalizes the performance consequences of coping with terrorism in business is displayed in Figure 7. The representation shows how a business applies past terrorism experience in building the capacity and ability to bounce back from systemic discontinuities and new risk environments (Starr, et al., 2003) due to terrorism. The conceptual model depicts and identifies the relationship between the observed variables (Van de Ven, 2007) in the model. …show more content…

START is a University of Maryland based research and education center at the comprised of a network of international scholars (Global Terrorism Database, 2015). Moreover, START is a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence and has been tasked by the Department of State to collect statistical data on terrorism in support of the annual Country Reports on Terrorism required by Title 22, Section 2656f of the United States Code. The Country Reports of Terrorism 2014 (2015) provides comprehensive country level quantitative and qualitative risk data and trends. Since 2001, START has maintained the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), which is a publicly available, unclassified excel based event database comprised of detailed quantitative numeric data and descriptive text systematically gathered from open-source reports of terrorist attacks (Global Terrorism Database, 2015). GTD (2015), accompanied by an instructive codebook, contains 141,967 rows and 108 columns of data categorized and coded into fields, as shown in Table 5. The GTG (2015) can be easily accessed, sorted, filtered and graphed using pivot tables in excel. For example, the GTD (2015) reveals that property value damage to business from terrorism is the 2nd highest target accounting for over 22% of all

  • 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review Paper

    1504 Words  | 7 Pages

    In accordance with the 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, the terrorist threat is one of the prevailing challenges that pose a significant risk level to the United States as well as to American citizens abroad and many U.S. allies (Department of Homeland Security, 2014). In the United States, the Federal Government assumes the responsibility for leading the efforts that seek to manage the risk level of the terrorist threat. That is why the Federal Government has created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), whose main mission is to prevent terrorist threats by managing their risk levels (DHS, 2014). Since the terrorist threat is a very complex threat to manage for one entity or agency alone, the DHS is able to accomplish its main mission by working in partnerships with many federal agencies; State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLLTT) Governments; private and public organizations; international partners; and communities all across the United States (DHS, 2014). In all of those partnerships, the Federal Government through the DHS plays a leadership role

On this premise, the relevance and importance of our principal framework (Figure 3) transcends risk identification and elimination but provide an explanation on how the challenges each factor pose at different times and situations. The translation of our evidence into actionable insight which would facilitate smooth practice is ongoing and the stage involve the formulation, design, piloting, and propagation of evident-based tools which can aid social workers to successfully make efficient, actionable formulation, and care plans for placement that appears unstable and at the verge of collapsing.

    In my opinion, to ensure that a treatment program is evidence based, a probation officer must know current “evidence-based practices” that already work in Probation and Parole supervision. They should have knowledge of evidence-based practices that apply to program providers, field officers, supervisors, and administrators. Ultimately, I believe that it is always necessary to improve one’s knowledge and skills, then apply them into practice, utilizing only what constitutes an evidence-based effective approach.

The rise of terrorism in any country is concerning for the rest of the world. In this day and age, the mobility of human beings and good and services has increased to an unprecedented scale.

    For example, if the victim was killed because of his or her race, religion or sexual orientation. Domestic terrorism is a more significant threat than the “foreign-masterminded variety in part because it is more common in terms of the number of attacks on U.S. soil” ("The Terrorist Threat Confronting the United States", 2002). For instance, a report published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point identified hundreds of domestic terror incidents per year between 2008 and 2012. Between 2002-2016, far-right affiliated perpetrators conducted 18 attacks that killed 48 people in the United States, while terrorists motivated by al-Qaida’s or the Islamic State’s ideology killed 45 people in nine attacks (February 2018 – Combating Terrorism Center at West Point", 2018).

    After a terrorist attack of any kind there are always consequences that must be faced. Sometimes the point of the terrorist attacks is because the organization wished to send a message or to influence policy in their favor.

Terrorist organization’s goal often comes down to one of the following: regime change, territorial change, policy change, social control and status quo maintenance. The main purpose of a terror attack may well be to influence public policy.
