After first reviewing the multifaceted nature of terrorism and the reasons it is likely to become endemic in world society in the long term, just as other areas of crime are endemic, this article surveys several fields of risk analysis, finding possible short\u2010 and long\u2010term uses of risk analysis. The areas chiefly considered are: risk communication and chemical, biological, and technological risk analysis. Broad policy and other uses are also considered. The author finds that risk analysis has already played some role, perhaps informally, but he sees the possibility for a much larger, formal one, a role that is centrally important for the present and future of the United States and the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/0272-4332.00050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,12]],"date-time":"2003-03-12T19:25:03Z","timestamp":1047497103000},"page":"405-413","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["A Perspective: Risk Analysis as a Tool for Reducing the Risks of Terrorism"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"suffix":", Jr.","given":"Paul F.","family":"Deisler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","author":"U.S. Department of State, Office of the Secretary of State","year":"2001","journal-title":"Patterns of Global Terrorism\u20142000"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","first-page":"35","volume-title":"The New Yorker","author":"Hersh S.
