In A-Gloss (Agency of Global Security) our primary objective is to conduct national and international security research, providing analysis to support decision-making.
On our agenda we include Africa, Latin America, Syria, Afghanistan, Israel, Chechnya, among others, providing security and intelligence on ongoing conflicts and terrorism.
We propose improvements to international security, defense and counterterrorism policies; we also offer solutions for incident management in complex environments, conflict resolution and psycho-criminological contributions regarding the criminal capacity of the actors involved.
To that end we study variables such as demographic factors, historical background and politics, among other aspects, to understand the course of conflicts and terrorist actions and future predisposition.
In A-Gloss we not only cover terrorism research, but also the fields of criminology and corrections.
We provide analysis of criminal behavior, explaining the reasons behind criminal behavioral acts.
A-Gloss (Agency of Global Security) is an organization with nonpartisan, nonideological researcher members. Its objective is the analysis and understanding of conflicts through comprehensive and accessible research and analysis. The research of A-Gloss will be made available to the general public, academics and industry professionals, members of law enforcement agencies, military personnel, and anyone who wishes to access it.
The research methodology of A-Gloss is based on primary and secondary sources, all those that allow a holistic view of the situation and field under investigation. The methodology guarantees a commitment to improving strategic capacity regarding criminal and terrorist behaviors.
Data will be collected and conflict trends will be analyzed in specific countries by evaluating security and the socio-political situation to implement appropriate criminological strategies and policies. It should be taken into account that, given the variability of risk factors and the social, geographic, and demographic context under study, explanations about the why of behaviors vary. A criminological diagnosis is conducted with the aim of explaining why a person becomes criminal, taking into account endogenous and exogenous factors; a prognosis, such as the likelihood that an individual is or is not dangerous; and, a treatment aimed at training a criminal subject to live in society while respecting all principles and values.
The research team of A-Gloss is multidisciplinary and adheres to the following principles:
