The chosen book is Terror, security, and money: Balancing the risks, benefits, & costs of homeland security by Mueller, J. & Stewart, M. (2011).
The book aims to explore whether the funds spent on security measures are worth the gains in security, rather than simply asking if we are safer due to the measures taken post 9/11. The authors utilize risk and cost-benefit analysis to answer this question, a technique that has been used by regulators, academics, and businesses worldwide for decades. However, a recent National Academy of Science study suggests that those administering homeland security funds have not capably applied this analytical approach. Given the limited risk terrorism poses, expenses meant to reduce it have largely been deemed not cost-effective. For instance, increased American homeland security expenditures would need to have prevented up to 1,667 attacks similar to the Times Square incident in 2010 every day to be considered cost-effective. “Terror, Security, and Money” highlights the mistakes the US has made and continues to make in managing homeland security programs. The book has the potential to redirect our efforts towards a more productive and cost-effective path
