Some Observations on the Behavior of the Terrorist Adversary,

Abstract

This meeting focuses on the behavioral aspects of physical security. Our research at The Rand Corporation has for the past ten years focused on the opposite side of that issue--the behavior of the potential adversary. Although our research has addressed the possible motivations, capabilities, and modulus operandi of a wide spectrum of adversaries including those who might be motivated by ideological, economic, or idiosyncratic reasons, one particular category of adversary--the political terrorist--has dominated our attention.
