Reviews
“. . . an excellent addition to an area of criminology that currently exhibits a paucity of well-constructed, informative studies. Her approach, particularly the well-documented references to current statues and case law in this area, will be of immense benefit, not just to students, but also to practitioners, particularly those involved in consultancy within the aviation and airfreight industries, or as corporate security managers within similar fields. . . . worthy of specific mention; Chapter 3detailing the various international conventions is well researched, clear-cut and precise, while Chapter 5 illustrates an excellent insight into terrorist incidents within the aviation industry in recent years. Chapters 7 and 8, give an excellent insight into the philosophy, structure and activities of many terrorist groups and the counter-terrorist unites established to thwart their activities.” – Brian Cremin, BCL, MSc, Managing Driector of Crime Management Group
