How terrorism has/could be handled or prevented. 3.) Conclusion-sum up essay, my own opinion on terrorism. “Terrorism is a criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim”. A lot of the time when someone commits an act of terrorism, it is because they are demonstrating faith and loyalty to their religious views and beliefs, political, or ideological and the persecutors aim to intimidate governments and put fear into the eyes of societies. In Australia this year, there are about 7 known terrorist groups spread around the country. These seven groups in Australia at the moment includes: "Ahmed Y" group, Benbrika group in Melbourne, Al-Shabaab, Syrian syndicate, Cheikho group in Sydney, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Mantiqi (Jemaah Islamiah). All around the world, terrorism is growing quickly and it is damaging countries, communities and families. Something needs to be done about the issue and some people are already acting on it today.

TERRORISM: DEFINITION, TEMPLATE, AND EXAMPLES In order to determine whether an action is a terrorist act or not, terrorism must first be defined. Terrorism is the use or threatening the use of violence as a weapon to influence a person or a group of people to change policies or influence decisions according to the terrorist’s desires. The terrorist can be a single person acting on personal wishes or a group of people with an ultimate goal. The goals of a terrorist are normally political, ideological, or religious in nature.
Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Framework HSM 433 Counter Terrorism & Intelligence Analysis January 14, 2012 Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Framework Terrorism is the warfare of the future. The battlefield has changed and it will take professional intelligence agencies to gather information about these unorthodox combatants. To help fight the war on terror, intelligence corporations must be present. However, some of the agencies can be combined with others to make a “super agency”. Three agencies that currently play a major role in the battle on terrorism will be the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Discussion will be given on which
I learned various forms, perspectives, and policies pertaining to terrorism in this course. Some of the statistics about counter-terrorism, the source of terrorists, and the background of terrorist were expected. I expected terrorist to come from unstable homes. I even expected terrorist groups to be led by the upper middle class because of education and resources availability. The most unexpected information I learned in this course was how terrorist groups end. The government, as part of the War on Terror, makes it seem like the military is the most important aspect of ending a terrorist group. Our nation spends billions of dollars on the multiple branches of the military. Various resources, funds, time and agencies are utilized in the pursuit of counter-terrorism. Finding out that local policing and change in politics are the two top ways terrorist groups end was shocking. This was shocking because every time a successful counter-terrorism attack
This counter terrorism strategy also helped to create the counter terrorism task force which promotes the coordination and coherence within the united nation’s system on counter terrorism and to provide assistance to other members. The security council of the UN is also there to help prevent and respond to terrorist acts. The Terrorist threat should continue to be the highest priority in our country because the attacks are often unexpected and they leave the country in turmoil. The threat of terrorism Creates the most serious challenges for the U.S. Intelligence Community as well as on the global level. ISIL is ruthless in its pursuits to terrorize individuals globally, but the united states will continue to combat its efforts. The united states
Iraq’s Security Forces have been under scrutiny since ISIS began controlling Iraqi cities. The Iraqi Security Forces had 1,000,000 million personnel and had received $100 billion dollars in aid since 2006 (Al-Ali, 2014). However, ISIS is smaller in force and funds. ISIS has an estimated 20,000 troops and makes an

Terrorism Have you ever had a fear for your family, your town, your country, or your world. How about the fear to have everything taken from you, destroyed, and not caring if it has hurt you or not? What about your fear and pain is, and can be someone else’s happiness? The fear of you being terrorized? That is terrorism. Someone else bringing fear and terrorizing you. That is a terrorist’s goal. Terrorism is common and is very difficult to stop. The government promises protection for the people, and their home, but they can not give that protection if they can not stop terrorism. Terrorism needs to stop to protect the live of the people, and their country.
Challenges for US Counter-terrorism Efforts As a direct consequence of September 11, a number of substantial challenges lie ahead in the area of counter-terrorism.. The most prominent of these is the changing nature of the terrorism phenomenon. In past years, when terrorism was largely the product of direct state sponsorship, policymakers were able to diminish prospects for the United States becoming a target using a combination of diplomatic and military instruments to deter potential state sponsors. Today, however, many terrorist organizations and individuals act independently from former and present state sponsors, shifting to other sources of support, including the development of transnational networks.
Introduction To counteract terrorism post 9/11, the UK government enacted new anti-terrorism laws. Although these measures were necessary to combat terrorism and preserve national security, arguably they have introduced new challenges to the rule of law (“ROL”) by failing to apply the full normative value of substantive and procedural rights. Yet, Parpworth considers that the judiciary has been willing to uphold the ROL in order to preserve the normative value of individual rights. This essay will evaluate this conception by assessing whether the judiciary has been willing to scrutinise government action. Case law reveals that the clash between executive discretion and the judiciary’s willingness to uphold the ROL has resulted in a “fault line” which runs between the judgments leading to a mixture of approach. While some judgments grant the executive a wide discretion on matters relating to national security, others reflect judicial willingness to interfere with the exercise of executive discretion, illustrating considerable resistance to the executive.
