Abstract

Policing is a key component of successful counterterrorism programs as efforts to prevent or disrupt as many attacks today without creating more tomorrow is of paramount importance. As others have emphasized, there is a major role for police in countering terrorism (Clarke and Newman, 2007). The submissions in this special issue touch on many of the fundamental challenges involved in policing domestic extremist groups. To do so successfully, police forces need to be organized and have comprehensive strategies that allow them to combat extremist violence, maintain community support and heed the lessons from the worst-case scenarios of other country experiences.
