Living With Terrorism In The US: How Americans Are Adapting, New Survey Finds
[Homeland Security Today] "When Americans go to the polls to choose a new president on November 8, they will be choosing the candidate they believe has the best approach to dealing with terrorism," according to ReportLinker Insight Managing Director Nicolas Bombourg regarding a new survey his firm conducted on how Americans are adapting their life to the threat of terrorism.The questions that were asked were: What are the social and psychological effects of terrorism on the US population, and, how does it change choices concerning outings or transport? This survey conducted by ReportLinker reached 503 online respondents representative of the US population, aged above 18 years old. Interviews were conducted on October, 14th. The ReportLinker announcement said, "One reason it has become such a large factor in this election is that terrorism tears at the essential fabric of American life: the freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness. But another reason is that recent attacks have pushed the issue to the forefront of everyday living." The ReportLinker announcement said, "One reason it has become such a large factor in this election is that terrorism tears at the essential fabric of American life: the freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness. But another reason is that recent attacks have pushed the issue to the forefront of everyday living." "For example," ReportLinker stated, "the latest wave of terrorist attacks ‐ Boston, San Bernandino, Orlando ‐ have made Americans warier while out in public, especially in crowded places. Sixty-four percent say they’re more anxious when congregating in a public area or riding on public transportation, according to the ReportLinker survey. "And 62 percent say they believe air travel is risky, despite a stronger security process put into place after 9/11." Con't. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-11-11 |
