Additional issues for practice, training and research.

There were many questions and issues raised either in discussions that were tangential to the scenario focus sessions, or in the plenary session that occurred at the end of the conference day. These included:

Can we characterize the relationship between culture and religion for the Saudis and Palestinians in the same manner as we do for that relationship among Americans?

How can we make use of someone who has family or other close contacts with terrorist groups?

How can law enforcement most effectively deal with the various culturally determined attitudes about women that might be found in Muslim-American communities? How might this limit or affect the efficacy of women officers?

How should response on the part of the teacher and law enforcement (in the instance of scenario 2c) depend on the country of origin of the child? How might we educate people both to know more about countries from which terrorists are likely to emerge, or--given the international characteristics of such--to look for indices that cross cultural boundaries?

How can we document the experiences and views of recent Arab- and Muslim-American immigrants?

How might law enforcement might make use of the U.S.A. Freedom Corps?
