Disrupting terror group finances to exploit organizational weaknesses
Global war on terrorism has been executed in many different fronts. This followed the 2001 terrorist attack on the United States that marked the beginning of targeting the financial networks of terrorists. Terrorists depend on financial networks in order to succeed in executing their activities. Although terror activities are not costly, the support of training camps, infrastructure, command, and control requires the availability of significant funding. This study provides insights on how these tactics are linked; their effectiveness depends on how financial, law enforcement, military, and intelligence personnel can use them against terrorist groups.
Corrections/Police Collaboration Among Intelligence Agencies and Law
Collaboration occurs when two or more individuals, agencies, or other forms of organizations commence a mutually beneficial relationship toward a shared goal. Collaboration includes a shared determination or will to reach a goal or achieve an objective in many ways such as sharing knowledge/information, sharing resources, combining resources and staff in innovative manners, as well as by constructing and maintaining a consensus. Construction and maintaining a consensus during collaborative efforts keeps every party involved on the same page; there is no one body that retains more knowledge than another or at least all parties involved have the same general sense of the situation or activity. Collaboration is an activity that requires effort in of itself. Collaboration by nature must be two-way or else it is not collaboration, but simply the execution of hierarchy.
