39 ways for malls to combat terrorism

measures that can substantially reduce the risk of terrorist attacks at
enclosed shopping centers.
The study ranks the security measures based on the relative risks of a
set of attack scenarios and on the cost and effectiveness of each
measure. It identifies a high-priority set of 6-10 security measures
that can cut terrorism risk to just one-fifteenth the level it would
otherwise be, based on case studies of three enclosed shopping centers
in the United States.
