This book explores the theory and practice of security conflict intervention by examining the experience of the Boko Haram security assault conflict. Through an examination of the realities of conflict it provides pragmatic approaches to strategic security and suggests ways to create practical security research, political controls, military and police mobilization, intelligence management, counterterrorism, and antiterrorism intervention procedures and practices to sustainably resolve conflict. The author argues that every intervention plan must be forged based on the particular security assault conflict dynamics and demands in a nation or region. In all cases, however, the key to securing and guaranteeing public protection and safety is regular inter-agency and multi-disciplinary collaboration. At the micro level, this book is about security strategies for public protection, but at the macro level it is about public domain violence prevention, response, mitigation, recovery, restoration, and protection of the public from the deleterious impacts of emergency events.
This book is comprehensive and sensitive and an excellent foundation for providing strategic security initiatives that serve as a focal point for maintaining peace in communities. I recommend this book in its totality. -- Joseph Maren Sampson, Founder and Director, Reconciliation Trainers Africa, Nigeria
An apt and robust heuristic device for conceiving, analysing, understanding and explaining integrated security within a comprehensive multi-disciplinary framework using the Boko Haram phenomenon. Highly recommended for Intelligence, Peace and Security practitioners and students as well as policy makers. -- Bakut tswah Bakut, Director, Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution
