The Transformation of Counter Terrorism

Abstract

The Transformation of Counter Terrorism is an examination of the changes occurring in counter terrorism using 11 September 2001 as a pivotal date. Before 11 September 2001 the United States dealt with counter terrorism primarily through law enforcement agencies and the civilian courts. After 11 September 2001, the United States declared war on terrorism and dealt with terrorists through the military and law enforcement agencies. United States civilian courts, international courts and military commissions are examined as various methods of determining guilt and the punishments upon terrorists.
