The future terrorists in America

Abstract

Looks at the self‐reported perceptions of police chiefs in a majority of US cities with a population exceeding 100,000. Identifies, regionally and nationally, those internal domestic groups that have the greatest potential for terrorism within the next two years. Finds that anti‐abortionists were predicted to be the most likely group to attack at national level, but that when predictions were sought for geographical areas, each respondent believed that there was a greater likelihood of terrorism in Washington DC or New York City than in their own area. Finds that there had been no significant increase in planning against terrorism.
