Overview
The Advanced Professional Development Course in Criminological Analysis of Complex Terrorist Systems, developed from a criminological perspective, provides participants with the knowledge and assessment tools needed to understand the terrorist phenomenon of the 21st century: an entirely new criminal element, both for the methods it employs and for its proven capacity to project itself beyond national borders, having recently taken on meta-state dimensions.
The programme analyses in particular the new organisational structures of terrorism which, lacking a central core of control, multipolarised and fragmented, make the task of those responsible for effective countermeasures especially difficult. It is aimed at a qualified audience: State officials belonging to the Armed Forces, Police Forces, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Ministries and Parliament, business operators active in critical infrastructure and in the defence and aerospace sectors, intelligence scholars and analysts, media and private security operators, university researchers and anyone who, driven by strong motivation, wishes to explore the subjects covered in greater depth.
The training is delivered entirely online: UNINTESS adopts the e-learning methodology, which allows you to attend the lessons anywhere and at any time, with only an Internet connection required. The study materials are delivered directly to the student's email inbox, meeting the demands of work, family and geographical distance.
The Course is organised into four modules that lead from the communicative dimension of terrorism through to the tools of countermeasures and the evolution of Italian legislation.
