Protecting Your Community from Terrorism: The Strategies for Local Law Enforcement Series. Volume 2: Working with Diverse Comunities

摘要

Men, women and children, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or immigration status, shared in the tragedy of September 11th. The terrorist attacks were not just an assault on nationality and citizenry, but also on heritage, cultural pride and even faith. Within hours of the Twin Towers collapse and the attack on the Pentagon, U.S. residents and visitors, particularly Arabs, Muslims and Sikhs, were harassed or attacked because they shared or were perceived to share the terrorists national background or religion.
