[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]The Swiss cheese model of accident causation is a model used in risk analysis and risk management. It likens human systems to multiple slices of swiss cheese, stacked side by side, in which the risk of a threat becoming a reality is mitigated by the differing layers and types of defenses which are "layered" behind each other. Therefore, in theory, lapses and weaknesses in one defense do not allow a risk to materialize, since other defenses also exist, to prevent a single point of failure. [/quote] This is interesting in that we follow a similar process in computer security where we talk about layered defenses. An exploit in one layer is hopefully caught by another layer. But, in your analogy, you might consider that with policing there is a layer called "race". In that layer, "black" is itself a hole. Failures in other layers are often not fatal when that layer is white. [/quote]
