Terrorism

Findings from World At Risk, a report recently issued by The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, warn that a weapon of mass destruction is likely to be used somewhere in the world within the next five years and that terrorists are more likely to obtain and use a biological weapon. These findings reinforce the need to raise awareness surrounding the potential of terrorist attacks and foster a culture of individual preparedness. Below is list of journal articles, reports and translated materials which address issues related to terrorism and racial/ethnic diversity across all phases of an emergency.
