Abstract/Description

This panel addresses factors which may influence terrorism on many different levels. The first paper examines the immediate and long-term impacts of deforestation practices on terrorism in 12 South American countries. The second paper assesses terrorism and targeted violence practices in a single county, considering factors such as referrals, assessments, and available resources. The third paper uses data gathered from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), and the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) to assess the impact of legislative approaches on election security in the United States. The final paper employs a situational crime prevention model to examine completed, failed, and foiled far-right plots.
