Looking to the future, the module will also look at the challenges the Intelligence Community are likely to face and how these may be addressed.

The module begins by looking at two phenomena that are central to the study of terrorism: aggression and violence. It then takes you thought the group nature of terrorism, and applies what we know about group psychology to the study of terrorism. It then examines the individual terrorist by looking at so called ‘Lone Wolf’ terrorism and the process of moving away from terrorism. Finally we look at the issue of victimhood, both by examining the experience of victims of terrorism but also how there is a complex relationship between being a (perceived, vicarious or otherwise) victim of terrorism and becoming a perpetrator.
It will examine:
This module looks at methods you can employ to determine who may be targeted by a particular terrorist group and how to determine a ‘proportionate response’ based upon the group’s intent and capability.

Terrorism Financing introduces the evolving nature of finance, techniques and practices of terrorist financing, plus various methods and practices introduced to prevent them.
This module explores the methods, techniques and practices of terrorist finance.
The detailed content includes the investigation of the methods behind the financing of terrorist events and the application of anti-money laundering (AML) methods and other techniques to combat the financing of terrorism, the targeting of illegal money (proceeds of crime) and legal money (charitable contributions).
The International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, the USA PATRIOT Act and Finance Tracking Program (TFTP) are explored along with government agencies involved in combating terrorist finance. The evolving nature of terrorism finance is investigated and how new methods challenge efforts to counter terrorist financing, plus how mechanisms for countering terrorist finance should be an integral part of any new financial tool. The module concludes with consideration of the consequences for the rest of society from combating the financing of terrorism as a product of the tension between liberty and security in modern society.
I recommend it highly to anyone. The modules are up-to-date and are taught by well-known authorities in the terrorism field. This is well worth the time and money
