WRMJ News Director Jim Taylor visited with Dr. Dean C. Alexander on Monday morning. He is a professor of law enforcement and director of Homeland Security Research Program at Western Illinois University. For more than 15 years, he has extensively researched and studied terrorism and terrorist organizations, both on U.S. soil and abroad. In a recent article for Security Magazine (December 2020) regarding extremism in the United States, Alexander writes that “extremism here encompasses multiple participants, including the radicalism of the anti-government movement.” Also, in PoliceOne (December 2020), Alexander noted, “As the contributing factors to the existence of terrorism are diverse, the whole of society efforts (e.g., mental health, community and civic engagement, religious institutions and schools) must be sourced in order to achieve success.”
