Studying terrorism is dangerous and our school and building where our classes are held has been attacked by at least a hoax during our course.

My essay is nearly done and I am up early this morning just finishing off some facts and police opinions on closed circuit video cameras.

I just read the preface and introduction of Andrew Silke, ed. Terrorists, Victims and Society (Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, 2003). There are few dedicated researchers of terrorism and few psychologists working in this field. I am a statistician working in this field and a legal studies student. I should be focusing on risk and insurance but am instead looking at information in terms of keeping it secret and also in terms of exposing the security apparatus.
