    When considering matters of terrorism, it is helpful to remember that the topic is highly charged with rhetoric. Not only are the semantics of the word itself fiercely contested, but terrorist acts both inspire, and are motivated by, unending torrents of nationalism, idealism, hate speech and propaganda. So in analyzing Daniel Byman and Christine Fair’s “The Case for Calling Them Nitwits”, a thought to bear in mind is that the article can itself be considered an analysis of rhetoric – the broadly defined rhetoric used by terrorist groups to recruit new members and inspire fear in their targets. In their opinion piece, Byman and Fair provide a plethora of well-presented evidence countering two of the strongest aspects of this rhetoric: the logical premise that they are capable of…

    Many comparable definitions of what constitutes as “terrorism” exist today, but Bruce Hoffman provides one of the most complete definitions in his book Inside Terrorism. He affirms that terrorism is (1) violence, or the threat of violence, (2) with political goals, (3) that is carried out by a group (4) or organization, (5) that has widespread ramifications and consequences (Hoffman, 2-3). Although there are a host of potential causes of Islamic terrorism, only one can adequately explain its dissension with the United States: the perpetual class struggle that goes on between the United States and the Middle East. Possible causes of Islamic terrorism include religious beliefs, ideological beliefs, oppressive political regime, etc. The goal of…

    Criminals and Terrorist have similarities in the way they plan to commit crimes yet, there poses a distinct difference in the act of motivation. Criminals are usually motivated by greed; whereas, Terrorist are motivated by religious and political ideologies, which encompasses short and long-term goals (Clarke, R.V. & Newman, G. R., 2008). Some of the key components that are considered by Criminals and Terrorist include, the target of choice, the method and tools required to perform the act, and opportunity (Clarke, R.V. & Newman, G. R., 2008). Terrorism can come in many shapes, forms, and fashions; all of which are governed by the benefits of the act and the opportunity to attack. The degree and level of attack can pose damages that are far…

    The most memorable terrorist attack from 2001 to 2015 was on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on September 11, 2001 (Paul, Dorin, Bugnar, and Mester 6). About three-thousand innocent people lost their lives during this violent attack (“Department of Government and Justice Studies”). This important event in American History should be remembered to hopefully prevent it from ever happening again. As terrorism changed from the 1980s to today, so did the types of people who became terrorists (O’Connor). This paper will look at what terrorism is, the types of terrorism, who becomes terrorists, and what their motives may be.…

    Criminal Deterrence Theory

    Terrorism is a gigantic problem in our world today. The truth is, as big of a problem as it’s become; it is still one of the least understood topics in law enforcement. The research in this area is very controversial, and is widely disagreed upon by scholars, so I thought I’d take this time to apply some modern criminal deterrence theories to terrorism. One of the major problems with terrorism is that it’s not easily observed. The American Psychological Association states, “terrorists aren't likely to volunteer as experimental subjects, and examining their activities from afar can lead to erroneous conclusions.…

    In Dying to Win, Robert Pape explains the causal logic of suicide terrorism and why the phenomenon has become more frequent since its inception in the 1980’s. This is accomplished through dividing the logic into three categories: strategic, social, and individual. Throughout this explanation Pape argues that suicide campaigns are not primarily derived from religious fundamentalism, but nationalism. This would indicate that such tactics are also a form of insurgency. To assess the overall argument, other scholar’s works on terrorist strategy will be used along with examples of conventional insurgencies.…

    Research has shown that criminals usually fall into stage one and two of moral development, where non-criminals usually fall in between stages three and four. In stage 1, children comply with authority out of fear. Leaving the assumption that something is viewed morally correct if punishment is avoided. Therefore, individuals that did not progress through this stage will think that their criminal behavior is acceptable as long as they go unpunished for the criminal act. In stage two children define what is right by having their needs satisfied; defining what is right if they are not punished for it (stage 1) and it satisfies their needs.…

    Just War Definition

    Discourse Arguments will now be presented that philosophically justify the act of terrorism in the right instance. I am going to start by applying the Just War Principles to both case studies. Beginning with the Nelson Mandela case study, it is unclear as to whether the ANC is a legitimate authority to execute acts of violence towards a governing body. It could be argued that the ANC was a legitimate authority since in the end the party was unbanned and then elected into government in 1994 winning 60% of votes for seats in the new National assembly . However, the ANC was banned and Umkhonto we Sizwe was formed which was an illegal underground version of the ANC , subsequently there was not a legitimate authority waging war on apartheid and already is arguably unjustifiable on this model of political ethics.…

    In the book The Psychology of Radicalization and Terrorism, the writers claim that economic deprivation is often referred to when discussing radicalisation. In a new approach, Koomen and van der Pligt (2016) agrees that economic deprivation acts as a threat to terrorists and their groups. Economic deprivation means being confined to limited social and economic opportunities such as poor healthcare; an insecure future; poor educational opportunities; etc. Koomen and van der Plight (2016) adds that being on the economic margins could lead to discrimination from the ‘wealthier’ group of people in the same country.…

    Martha Crenshaw’s 1981 article “The Causes of Terrorism” outlines an analysis on the causes of terrorism by examining the preconditions, precipitants, reasons, the psychological aspects of the individual. Crenshaw attempts to show the reader the causes of terrorism in this article. She begins by providing a definition of terrorists. She defines terrorism as the premeditated use or threat of violence committed by a group of people in order to convey a political message. She then divides her paper into three distinct categories that explore the framework, the reasons, and the motivation for terrorism.…
