Terrorism Act 2000

Terrorism does not have a unified definition but a broad definition under the UK Terrorism Act 2000 giving States the freedom to include a variety of terrorist actions. Terrorism is a commonly used notion in derogation claims and yet it is a concept difficult to precisely define. There is a vague international definition, which includes the various types; state terrorism, religious terrorism, right wing terrorism, left wing terrorism, and pathological terrorism, issue oriented terrorism, separatist terrorism, and narco-terrorsim. The formal consensus is that terrorism is a criminal act intend and calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public or group of persons motivated by various purposes in viable circumstances e.g. philosophical, politically, ideological, racial, ethnic or religious. The act causes a thrill effect as the aim is spreading terror in order to achieve a certain aim, i.e. compel the government to change a policy; the act must be politically or religiously motivated. The objective element of the offence is criminal acts causing serious harm to lives, public or private property. The subjective element is the notion of intention for the offence. This element distinguishes terrorism from other threats, as…

Terrorism has become a constant issue over the past decade for countries all around the world. It has been defined as, “the deliberate use or the threat to use violence against civilians in order to attain political, ideological and religious aims” (Ganor, 2002, p. 288). This vehicle to gain an objective for the group has become more popular in modern times as the audience for violent acts has increased with globalization and technology. The world was shocked when a terrorist organization was…

by many names, you may know it best as the Silver State, but it is also nicknamed the Sagebrush State and the Battle Born State. The state flower of Nevada is the Big Sagebrush which grows in the desert and rangelands of Nevada. Native Americans used to use Sagebrush for weaving and medicinal purposes. It can be found in the Nevada state flag, as well as the commemorative Nevada quarter minted in 2006. Nevada’s state bird is the Mountain Bluebird. Nevada designated the bird as the state bird in…

My original thoughts about terrorism were heavily influenced by recent terrorist attacks on the United States. The motivation behind events such as 9/11 and the Boston Bombing are difficult for fellow Americans to understand. It seems delusional to validate the killings of so many innocent people through religion or politics. The video, A Legacy of Violence,(Setton Mudd & Carroll, 2000) by no means justifies terrorist acts, but explains them as a military and political tactic. By focusing on…

The race for the presidency in the year 2000 was very controversial. Now after watching the movie Recount it is obvious that George W. Bush illegitimately won the election. Firstly, older voters were confused on how to fill out the ballot, which ended up in a significant amount of dimpled chad that were not counted by the machines, therefore robbing thousands of people of their right to vote for the president they wished to be in office, not to mention that it may have costed Gore the…

Bush made promises for his campaign based on the issues that the United States was associated with. Bush’s 2000 campaign was successful because of his domestic promises, Gore’s…

The face of Nicholas Easter was slightly hidden by a display rack filled with slim cordless phones, and he was looking not directly at the hidden camera but somewhere off to the left, perhaps at a customer, or perhaps at a counter where a group of kids hovered over the latest electronic games from Asia. Though taken from a distance of forty yards by a man dodging rather heavy mall foot traffic, the photo was clear and revealed a nice face, clean-shaven with strong features and boyish good looks.…

The dawning of international terrorism has forced a complete re-thinking of how citizens and governments handle emergency management, perceive military ventures, and interact with law enforcement agencies. However, there have been stumbling blocks to how best to implement wide-scale institutional changes across all agencies and communities to counter terrorism. While most agree with the definition of terrorism – acts that seek to intimidate, coerce, or ransom populations to create fear, gain…
