Taking It to the Streets: Assessing the FBI's Approach to Combating Illicit Networks
Abstract
The ways in which terrorism and crime are linked has compelled governments to develop strategies to prevent both, particularly at the transnational level. Some of the most effective instruments governments have at their disposal to combat terrorism are their respective law enforcement and criminal justice systems. Many of the methods used by terrorists do not differ significantly from those used by other criminals, even if their basic motivation differs greatly. Law enforcement strategies, methods, and processes are revealed as very much relevant to the fight against terrorism. Consequently, this study seeks to explore the Federal Bureau of Investigations Enterprise Theory of Investigation to countering illicit networks and assess its potential in combating terrorism. Specifically, this thesis illustrates how the Enterprise Theory of Investigation, or elements of it can be used to enhance military strategies for combating terrorism.
