Discriminative Environmental Properties in Terrorist Environments: A basis for Training
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to identify and describe environmental and contextual cues that are available to experienced security force personnel and that may be associated with terrorist threat, to establish the discriminative stimulus properties of these cues and the characteristics of their relationships to relevant behavior, and to develop a rationale for designing training techniques. All evidence from the work suggests that cues that might give warning are present in all of the incidents investigated, although their recognition may require vigilance or recognition of the significance of 'normal' event in the context of the activities in question. Keywords: Terrorism/warning; Security personnel; Terrorists behavior; Crime analysis; Ireland; Training/cueing/discrimination.
