CJA 467 Terrorism Definition and Causes Discussion

Description

1. DEFINING TERRORISM

The meaning of terrorism differs in many different contexts. Time, place, entities involved and ultimate objectives are but a few of the variables that play into how one defines terrorism. On page 8 of your textbook, Jonathan White discusses the historical meaning of terrorism as a related to the French Revolution. On pages 11, 12 and 13 of your textbook, White (2012) discusses the range of definitions that are often highlighted or used. As you craft your response to the prompts below, I would suggest that you examine the different definitions of terrorism used by the FBI, the CIA, the State Department, and other federal agencies. Additionally, take a look at Schmid’s academic consensus definition (accepted by the United Nations) that is outlined and page 12.

2. CAUSES OF TERRORISM

As we consider the causes of terrorism, take a moment to conceptualize the differences between “crime” and “terrorism.” Take a second to explore this idea and contemplate the similarities and differences between these two social challenges.

For this discussion question, you are to address the following questions:

What are similarities between criminals and terrorists? What are differences?

Can a terrorist also be a criminal? Can a criminal be a terrorist Why or why not?

Do you believe that some criminal groups could also be considered terrorists? Identify specific examples and justify your answer.
