Biography
Amos Guiora is a professor of law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah and the recipient of the 2011 Faculty Scholarship Award. Incorporating innovative scenario-based instruction to address national and international security issues and challenges, he teaches criminal procedure, international law, global perspectives on counterterrorism, and religion and terrorism. Professor Guiora has published extensively in both the U.S. and Europe on issues related to national security, limits of interrogation, religion and terrorism, the limits of power and multiculturalism, and human rights. He served for 19 years in the Israel Defense Forces as lieutenant colonel (retired), and held a number of senior command positions, including commander of the IDF School of Military Law and legal advisor to the Gaza Strip.
"This a policy book rather than a practitioner’s … chapter on business continuity is of most interest to corporate security readers. In his introduction, Guiora makes the crucial point that police and everyone involved in homeland security ‘also have day jobs.’ The answer is to make homeland security a help to that day job, not another burden."
—Professional Security Magazine"Guiora stresses the importance of international cooperation and intelligence gathering. While focusing on the U.S. in the main, Guiora also includes valuable reflections on Canada, Israel and the UK. This timely book, in the fields of security studies and law, would benefit both experts and scholars. It is informative, thoughtful and policy-oriented."
—Raphael Cohen-Almagor, University of Hull, UK and author of the popular blog Israeli Politics"I was impressed by Guiora’s narrowness of focus on the topic while acknowledging that the subject area is quite broad."
