As you requested, the following is the outcome of my research on the above matter.
In dealings in PetroClean 's shares, chapter 11 of the Listing Rule (LR) sets out the requirements for
related party transactions that an issuer with a premium listing of equity shares such as PetroClean is
required to comply with once its shares have been admitted to the official list. A related party is
defined by LR 11.1.4R, as a substantial shareholder, a person who is a director or shadow director of
a listed company or any of their associates. Therefore, Mr Dumont, his family and the trustees of his
family trust where he is a beneficiary may fall under the definition of a related party. Accordingly, as
an identified related person there are disclosure obligations which must be observed in relation to
dealings in PetroClean 's shares.
A related party transaction is defined by LR 11.1.5R, among all, It is a transaction between a listed
company and a related party (other than a transaction in the ordinary course of business). In a
related party transaction, PetroClean must make a class 2 announcement, by notifying a Regulatory
Information Service (RIS) as soon as possible. The announcement must contain the name of the
related party and details of the nature and extent of the related party 's interest. PetroClean must

The Future Of Terrorism In The United States
Over the past Century, terrorism has advanced from random killings to enormous plans for terrorist
groups. To understand terrorism you must first define it. Terrorism as we all know it is hard to
define and understand, and has many different definitions as it is used widely. The word "terrorism"
stems from the word "terror", which means to instill fear in. People become terrorists when they
take the actions towards instilling fear and terror upon people to prove a certain point or agenda.
Some terrorists may have the motivation of proving something political, while some may just inflict
terror to keep control over a group, people or country. Then there are terrorists who act under the
notion that they are showing support for something, as in religious regions, while others do so to
show disdain for something they don 't agree with. Government, individual agencies, private
agencies, and academic experts have all developed, proposed, designed, and analyzed what
constitutes acts of terrorism. The meaning of terrorism has definitely changed and acquired new
definitions over the years. The million dollar question is how will the future of America be affected
by this act of terrorism?
Terrorism represents a continuing threat to the United States. It is the most significant threat to our
national security. Terrorist attacks have definitely left many concerns about the possibilities of

the world to fulfill their demands. Their strategies include bomb blasts, murders, kidnapping and

They also tried to blow up a British aircraft carrier. The plan was unsuccessful. In 1997 the group

groups (n.d.) the group supports itself largely through bank robberies. MAJOR
BREAKTHROUGH: On June 29, 2002 the Greek police managed to arrest a member of the N 17
group. According to an on line report by KATHIMERINI titled "Judgment Day for N 17"
(December 17, 2003) the arrest was made due to an unsuccessful operation on part of the N 17
group. The suspect, Sawas Xeros, was interrogated by Scotland Yard and the local police. His
testimony led the police to two safe houses. Following the link six more members of the group were
arrested which included two brothers of Sawas. The police also came to know about the leader of
the group, a 58 year old professor Alexandrous Giotopoulos. He was arrested from the island of
Lipsi in July 2002. On September 5th, 2002 the Chief of Operations of N 17 group, Koufodinas,

Terrorist Attacks On The World Trade Center
There is little doubt that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September
11 drastically changed America's sense of security in recent years. Yet the country is facing another
kind of threat, one that is not entirely different than the dangers of terrorism at a global scale:
domestic terrorism. At its core, domestic terrorism differs from any other type of terrorism in the
sense that those who carry it out are citizens or permanent residents of a given country and who
inflict violence and intimidation against their fellow citizens or permanent residents in the pursuit of
political aims (Sharpe, 2000, p. 606). In that sense, domestic terrorism may also be called
homegrown terrorism. Perhaps the best, and most gruesome, example that shows the difference
between domestic terrorism and other types of terrorism is the bombing of the World Trade Center.
In the September 11 attacks, the perpetrators were Islamist jihadists who belong to al–Qaeda, a
Sunni Islamist organization that America eventually categorized as a network of terrorist groups.
Most of the direct perpetrators themselves were from Saudi Arabia while the rest were from Egypt,
Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates (Bell, Clay, Murdie & Piazza, 2014, p. 607). In other words,
they were non–citizens of America. In the aftermath of the attacks, authorities revealed that most of

and terrorism The cyber–world around us is an evolving organic entity. The incredible
advancements with technology and the interconnectivity between such systems make everyday life
for the average American as easy as swiping a finger. From a person's smartphone used to pass the

With a world that is becoming much more dependent on these networks running smoothly and
efficiently as possible, these networks are becoming prime targets for individuals or organizations
that may have other, more malicious ideas of how to utilize the true capabilities of these networks.
Present day has seen its fair share of networks that have been compromised by unauthorized actors,
but the real question that arises with this looming theory of "cyberterrorism" is what the actors'
desired endstate is. When a network is hacked and compromised, how the act is categorized is all

Christian Persecution in Nigeria
Christian persecution by Muslim extremists in (mainly) northern Nigeria is and has been a serious
problem for several years. The main contributors to this issue are the Islamic extremist and Muslim
purist organization, Boko Haram. According to Religion Today, over 3000 people have been killed
since Boko Haram began it's insurgency. Murders and jihads are a regular occurrence in Nigeria,
with new reports seemingly coming out every day of another terrorist attack or mass shooting. With
government being unsupportive of Christians and the constant persecution by extremists, the
outlook has seemed bleak for a very long time, but quite recently the announcement of NASOC
(Nigerian Army Special Operations Command) things could be starting to look up for the
persecuted.
Although Boko Haram is the most associated group with Christian persecution in Nigeria,
Christians face many other threats as well. The government denies them basic facilities such as
wells, schools, and of course, does not provide labor or funds for the building of churches. Apart
from the government, there have also been emerging signs that al–Qaeda may have ties with Boko
Haram. Before late 2013, Goodluck Jonathan had addressed concerns that the United States of

The OECD report also explains how as a result of the attacks on both the US and UK, both counties
have become more vigilant by increasing their border controls. This has slowed down the rate of
supply at which goods are able to flow between countries and increased costs. Increased security

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Cyberterrorism
Introduction Prevalent to the current trend now is the dependency of the society on Information
technology and communication systems. Every aspect of human life is one way or the other linked
and controlled by information technology tools. The importance of information technology cannot
be over emphasized as its unavailability could lead to a form of disaster or the other. Pivotal
infrastructures like finance, healthcare, education and security are driven by information technology.
However, information technology and its benefits are accompanied by vulnerabilities and risks that
can be exploited by people with the necessary technical skills. Individuals like 'Hackers' and 'Cyber
Terrorist' can cause disruption to information systems, commit financial fraud and also attack
computers and networks. These attacks and disruptions could result to violence against people and
properties. In some cases, death, serious injuries and severe economic loss could occur as a result of
these attacks. What is Cyberterrorism? A lot of opinions and meanings has been given to the word
"Cyberterrorism". Some of these meanings and definitions varies. In this light, Gordon and Ford
(2003) are concerned that when 10 people define cyberterrorism and nine of the given answers are
different, and these 10 people represent different government agencies tasked with safeguarding
national assets and infrastructure, then it becomes a critical issue. According to Furnell and Warren
(1999), Evidence suggests that technology is growingly seen as a potential tool for terrorist
organizations and the widespread use of information technology by terrorist groups and
organizations has led to the birth of a new class of menace termed "Cyberterrorism". Cyberterrorism
could be used in many diverse ways. Sometimes, a country's pivotal infrastructures could be shut
down and harmed using computer network and tools. There have been impediments in trying to give
a clear and concise definition to the term "cyberterrorism". But Denning (2007) which supersedes

A victim includes anyone directly affected by the actions or non–actions of one of the above public
authorities. Whilst this 'directly affected' principle is absolute, a victim can also include someone not
necessarily directly affected by the actions of a public body, but indirectly affected. For instance, a
person who is likely to be put under surveillance by the police will be able to call upon the Human
Rights Act, even though they have not yet had their privacy interfered with.
Where it is established that a Convention Right has been violated, the victim may be able to gain an
injunction to stop the violation, force the public authority to take action, take judicial review
proceedings or obtain damages and compensation.
The Human Rights Act affects the different types of legislation in a number of ways. Primary
legislation, which is Parliamentary Statute, the most sacred type of English law, has to be bought
into accordance with the Convention Rights. If primary legislation does not comply with the
Convention Rights then a Declaration of Incompatibility is issued. This can only be given by the
higher courts and allows the offending legislation to be changed and put inline with the Convention
Rights easily and quickly. If a statement is not issued, then the case proceeds to the European Court

The international community has largely failed to agree *P.L. 114 on a definition of terrorism which
reconciles both the general Page2 abhorrence for violence which is indiscriminate and/or actively
targets civilians, with the acknowledgement that some forms of political oppression may be so
unjust as to legitimate violent action by the oppressed.21 While violent action was necessary to
achieve decolonisation in many cases, and widely seen as legitimate when used for this purpose,22
the legitimacy of the use of violence in many present–day conflicts (Israel/Palestine being one
example) is contested. If the use of violence for political ends is not seen as legitimate, it is
frequently identified as "terrorism". Hence the lack of agreement: whereas a group employing
violent means to bring about political change may be seen by some as legitimately struggling
against oppression, the same group can be viewed by others as terrorists.23 To date, the
international community has failed to agree upon a definition of "terrorism" which overcomes this
basic obstacle.24 Instead, a range of international conventions have been adopted to criminalise at

financial assets, command structures and power. Most of the world is aware of very few of these
groups and are often only able to identify organizations that have committed very destructive and
deadly attacks on citizens of western nations. Nearly everyone knows about Al Qaeda, the Taliban
and Hezbollah because their intentions are well publicized and they have successfully struck fear
into many groups. While these organizations are important to examine when studying terrorism, it is
more important that we look at all the groups that data have been collected for to find out how
terrorist groups work, their power and what factors are key to their continuing existence. The
definition of terrorism for this study will remain very broad as the data was pulled together from

"Terrorism is violence, or the threat of violence, calculated to create an atmosphere of fear and

refrain from actions they desired to take." This may need to be relaxed slightly as it was the

Risk Assessment of Terrorism

The Relationship Between Race And Racism In The Criminal...
Introduction
In this essay, I will be discussing whether there is a race or a racism problem within the criminal
justice system. Crime is a feature in all societies and criminal justice is the response to a crime and
can include protecting the citizens from everyday threats to their safety such as ensuring dangerous
and persistent offenders are monitored effectively when in the community and imprisoned when
necessary. Racism is the unequal treatment of a population group purely because of its' possession
of physical or other characteristics socially defined as denoting a particular race (Scott and
Marshall, 2005). There are strong beliefs that there is a correlation between race and crime also, race
and how the criminal justice system deals with this problem and it is also believed that racism may
play a part in this. This interest has largely been fuelled by one of the very few facts consistently
recorded in crime statistics: ethnic minorities tend to be overrepresented in every stage of criminal
justice systems.
Discussion
Race is often described as "Distinct group of people whose members share certain inherited physical
characteristics such as skin colour and hair texture" (Covington 2000, p. 178). The public perception
of crime is shown through ethnicity and stereotypes between different races. Statistics show that
ethnic minority groups are overrepresented, because despite making up only 2% of the total

Persuasive Essay On Terrorism
"Instead, we should accept the risk and live our lives to the full." (Starling) The issue of terrorism is
that it doesn't stop and it's been going on for years now, and it seems that the people haven't done
much to stop this. The reasoning is that since terrorism has been a thing for a while they have
probably seen everything that they can do, so by trying to fight it, it will most likely become even
worse. Terrorists are attacking more religious people than non–religious people because they might
be against that race of the person, or what they believe in. It has even been said all around the world,

In addition, 17,958 people died in 2013 due to terrorist attacks, and most of these attacks happened
in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Syria. They mostly happened in these countries because
all of these countries have a religion that they follow, and religious people, and terrorist's mostly
will attack religious people. In the article " The Geography of Terrorism " by Kathy Gilsinan it
states, "Since 2000 there has been over a five–fold increase in the number of deaths from terrorism,
rising from 3,361 in 2000 to 17,958 in 2013." This quote is showing us the statistics of the amount
of deaths from 2000 – 2013, and that terrorism is a big priority that needs to be fixed, telling from
the 15,000 death increase. Also in the article it states, "Much of the increase in terrorism–related
fatalities in 2013 took place in Iraq, where terrorists claimed nearly 4,000 lives–a 168–percent
increase over 2012." This quote describes another reasoning that the amount of deaths are increasing
because of terrorist attacks. Many people are dying due to terrorist attacks, and that most attacks are
on people with a major religious belief.
Next, there were different kind of actions of terrorist attacks in the years 1793 s – 1990s. These

Reading Review : Why Terrorism Doesn 't Work
POLS2207 Reading Review: Why Terrorism doesn't work – Max Abrahms

I disagree with Abrahms' article 'Why Terrorism doesn't work', there are a number of fundamental
flaws within his work that I feel undermines its credibility. I feel that if he offered the readers the
chance to reach their own conclusions it would have been a persuasive piece. However, by using
limited data samples as evidence for his arguments, I find it difficult to understand why this article
is held in such high esteem.
In his academic work "Why Terrorism doesn't work", Max Abrahms examines the list of twenty–
eight terrorist groups since 2001 in order to demonstrate that terrorism doesn't achieve its political
objectives (Abrahms, 2006). He used statistical ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This is a very limited and narrow framework for terrorism as it doesn't capture other motives behind
an attack. A recent example is the 9/11 attack on the US, Abrahms definition doesn't capture other
motives such as distancing a government from its citizens or strengthening a terrorist group's own
position (Abrams, 2011). Even though it can be argued that he is identifying the most prominent
type of terrorism, his definition is similar to military tactics that were used in both conventional and
irregular wars (Said, 2011).
The second weakness is his sample of twenty eight terrorist groups. Abrahms gathers all of the
terrorist groups into one sample, even though there is a huge difference in method and ability
between the groups that shouldn't be ignored. Terrorist groups such as the RAF are consisted of a
small amount of protestors who use terrorism exclusively, while other complex actors, such as
Hizbullah engage in multiple levels of political action (Said, 2011).
The time frame in which the sample was made also needs mentioning. The time period in which this
sample was constructed (2001–2006) is not reliable enough to assess the success of terrorist groups.
His arguments would have been much more persuasive if he had another sample in order to assess
groups such as the IRA, who use terrorism as part of a 'long strategy' (Rose, 2007).

Tom And Bob Can Appoint Carl As A Replacement For Tom
The first issue is whether Tom and Bob can appoint Carl as a replacement for Tom. In order to
execute this function, it must first be determined whether Tom and Bob are still legitimate trustees
given their current circumstances. The appointment of trustees will be made where a new trust is
created either inter vivos or by will; and during the continuance for an existing trust whereby one
trustee may seek to retire. On the death of a trustee, the remnants are given to the survivors to carry
on the trust. Section 18(1) of the Trustee Act 1925 (UK) provides that where a power or trust is
given to or imposed on two or more trustees jointly, the same may be exercised or performed by the
survivors or survivor of them for the time being. Further, s. 48 (1) of the Trinidad and Tobago

Domestic Terrorism Vs International Terrorism Analysis
Terrorism is a violent act that is planned and committed to cause terror in the people while trying to
achieve political goals. In the Prologue Magazine article of John Brown the author states, "Terrorists
may hope for political change, but what they often want is to simply strike back at and harm those
they oppose" (Finkelman, 2011). Terrorism is something that can happen in any country because
there are people who disagree with another's beliefs or political views. Terrorists usually target
civilians or "non–military folk" because they aren't able to defend themselves against an attack.
They are also not concerned with how much damage they cause; they will use anything from a
bomb to guns.

History Of The New Terrorism
Intrinsically political grounded in an evolving historical context, in the last decades of the twentieth
century, terrorism has emerged as a new mode of conflict. Misinterpretations have led to the belief
that terrorism became more significant and increased in frequency since the end of the Cold War. In
the light of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, terrorism is said to have shifted in its aims
and methods over the last decades. Many contemporary studies on terrorism focus on the aspects of
terrorism before and after the attacks in the United States; and it is questioned if the political
motivations, the religious aspiration, and the use of weapons by terrorist groups in the 21st century

actors contribute to terrorism and how norms shape the behavior of the actors.
"Terrorism is an objective reality and a subjective interpretation" (Karaffa 2012: 3). Via this quote,

the domestic court as they held that the State was acting within their margin of appreciation to
suppress terrorism. Meanwhile, the stop–and–search powers were deemed illegal by the ECtHR.
The Court maintained that the act did not provide "adequate legal safeguards for abuse" and that
Section 44 was not "sufficiently circumscribed"– Moreover, the Court acknowledged that the power

the Court concluded that the Act violated the right to privacy under Article 8 of the Convention.
Several human rights scholars consider the judgment issued by the ECtHR in Gillan and Quinton v.

The primary illegal activities among militia groups are related to weapons and explosives. Militia

a number of other states have seen members arrested for possession of illegal weapons and
explosives. People in the movement tend to give inflated numbers, in order to make their movement
seem larger, and at the same time, because they are so paranoid, will refuse to allow people to
actually count their numbers. In addition, groups go in and out of existence all the time, and there
are many people who are part of the movement, without being card–carrying members of any one

Terrorism has been around for hundreds of years and through the years the definition of terrorism

these types of activities happened in other countries, not ours. Unfortunately that is not true, which
we found that terrorism can and did reach our shores and change our lives, this unfortunate
realization took place on September 11, 2001. Of course this was not the first terrorist activity that
occurred on American soil, it is just the one that slapped American's in the face telling us that
American was not "untouchable", we are just as vulnerable as other countries. Defining terrorism
has been an issue for many years, the different branches of the federal government cannot even
agree on a definition of what terrorism is let alone different countries. To back up the above I have
listed some of the different definitions from different branches of the federal government and from
other countries (White, J. 2014).
The Intelligence Community is guided by the definition of terrorism contained in Title 22 of the US

offences considered to be linked to terrorism, a substantial increase over the equivalent figure of

It is important to keep these initial goals in mind when assessing recent anti–terrorism legislation.
Impact of the Human Rights Act
In terms of substantive law, the HRA has had a significant impact in many areas of English law. One
of the more obvious,8 and controversial,9 examples is the law relating to privacy. However the
impact of the HRA has not been limited to privacy, criminal law, and immigration/asylum. The Act
is being increasingly invoked in commercial litigation, and was recently relied on by Northern Rock
shareholders seeking to challenge the Government's 2008 compensation scheme.10
Also significant is that the HRA has, in practice, a measure of 'horizontal effect'. Section 6(1) of the
Act makes it unlawful for Courts (as public authorities)11 to act in a manner incompatible with
Convention rights, and UK courts are thus obliged to have regard to Convention rights even where
these arise in private disputes.12

choose the service we are getting back. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) is an
Act of Parliament which instituted a legislative framework for the powers of police officers in
England and Wales to combat crime, as well as providing codes of practice for the exercise of those
powers. PACE sets out to strike the right balance between the powers of the police and the rights
and freedoms of the public. Maintaining that balance is a central element of PACE. These powers
have been given to the police to insure our safety however how much power the police really hold is
limited by the PACE, the police must carry out their duty without breaching the rights of
individuals. the question of whether or not these rights should be abolished is a debatable one.

intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or
coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping

The Pros And Cons Of Religious Terrorism
Religious terrorism is majorly underpinned by the idea that religious terrorists employ different
violent tactics that are more deadly and indiscriminate compared to other forms of terrorism.
Religious terrorism is alleged to be distinct from other forms of terrorism because it involves acts of
purification (Gunning & Jackson 2011). These acts are based of ancient rituals, such as self–
sacrifice, commonly martyrdom, or targeting a large portion of noncombatants to sacrifice or
because they are non–believers, instead of targeting specific political symbols to achieve political
aims (Gunning & Jackson 2011). Considering this view, religious terrorism is argued to be deadlier
because such terrorists aspire to cause maximum casualties. Following this argument, this
characteristic of religious terrorism is different to other forms of terrorism because they do not target
any specific defined political demands, since they want to destroy the society and eradicate a great
portion of the population (Spencer 2006). This type of act is grounded on the idea that such
terrorists see their struggle as good against evil (Spencer 2006). As a result they have dehumanize
their victims and anyone who are not apart of their struggle as infidels or traitors (Spencer 2006).

righteous and a necessary expedient for their religious purpose and objectives. Furthermore, the idea

Role Of The Thief Takers During Early Civilizations
1. Fifth–century– Organized police departments were rare in early civilizations. Rome created the
first specialized investigate unit. These units were known as Questors, or "trackers of murder". Also
around this time Roman emperor Augustus picked special, highly qualified members of the military
to form the "Praetorian Guard" which could be considered the first police officers. Their job was to

5. Policing from 1960 to 1970– Supreme court made more decisions. The civil rights movement
happened. Police started to respond to Civil Disobedience. Also around this time the Vietnam war
was happening, many anti–Vietnam war demonstrations were happening. Campus disorders began
to happen. Also urban riots started to occur.

violent crimes started to happen. CompStat which is year–to–date statistics for criminal complaints
and arrests. The Rodney King incident happen giving police a bad name. Riots began resulting from
racial and civil unrest.
7. Policing in the 2000 's– Police corruption issues resurfaced. A notable amount of crime reductions
occurred. The terrorist attack known as 9/11 happened and its aftermath. Homeland security came
about and also the U.S.A. Patriot Act. Hurricane Katrina occurred, many corrupt cops left after the
hurricane hit instead of lending a helping hand.
The Era that I feel like had the most impact in policing was the 2000 's. I feel like this era had the
most impact in policing because after the terrorist attack known as 9/11 happened I feel like police

Investigation Of A Related Party Transaction Is Defined By...

  • 1. Investigation Of A Related Party Transaction Is Defined By... As you requested, the following is the outcome of my research on the above matter. In dealings in PetroClean 's shares, chapter 11 of the Listing Rule (LR) sets out the requirements for related party transactions that an issuer with a premium listing of equity shares such as PetroClean is required to comply with once its shares have been admitted to the official list. A related party is defined by LR 11.1.4R, as a substantial shareholder, a person who is a director or shadow director of a listed company or any of their associates. Therefore, Mr Dumont, his family and the trustees of his family trust where he is a beneficiary may fall under the definition of a related party. Accordingly, as an identified related person there are disclosure obligations which must be observed in relation to dealings in PetroClean 's shares. A related party transaction is defined by LR 11.1.5R, among all, It is a transaction between a listed company and a related party (other than a transaction in the ordinary course of business). In a related party transaction, PetroClean must make a class 2 announcement, by notifying a Regulatory Information Service (RIS) as soon as possible. The announcement must contain the name of the related party and details of the nature and extent of the related party 's interest.

  • 2. The Future Of Terrorism In The United States Over the past Century, terrorism has advanced from random killings to enormous plans for terrorist groups. To understand terrorism you must first define it. Terrorism as we all know it is hard to define and understand, and has many different definitions as it is used widely. The word "terrorism" stems from the word "terror", which means to instill fear in. People become terrorists when they take the actions towards instilling fear and terror upon people to prove a certain point or agenda. Some terrorists may have the motivation of proving something political, while some may just inflict terror to keep control over a group, people or country. Then there are terrorists who act under the notion that they are showing support for something, as in religious regions, while others do so to show disdain for something they don 't agree with. Government, individual agencies, private agencies, and academic experts have all developed, proposed, designed, and analyzed what constitutes acts of terrorism. The meaning of terrorism has definitely changed and acquired new definitions over the years. The million dollar question is how will the future of America be affected by this act of terrorism? Terrorism represents a continuing threat to the United States. It is the most significant threat to our national security. Terrorist attacks have definitely left many concerns about the possibilities of future incidents of terrorism in the United States. Since the events of September 11, 2011, ...

The terrorist groups have been using various strategies to pressurize the world to fulfill their demands. Their strategies include bomb blasts, murders, kidnapping and damage to property.

They also tried to blow up a British aircraft carrier. The plan was unsuccessful. In 1997 the group again gained success by killing a British shipping tycoon Costis Peraticos. In 1999 German embassy in Athens was targeted by a bomb. According to the US Department of State information on terrorist groups (n.d.) the group supports itself largely through bank robberies. MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: On June 29, 2002 the Greek police managed to arrest a member of the N 17 group. According to an on line report by KATHIMERINI titled "Judgment Day for N 17" (December 17, 2003) the arrest was made due to an unsuccessful operation on part of the N 17 group. The suspect, Sawas Xeros, was interrogated by Scotland Yard and the local police. His testimony led the police to two safe houses. Following the link six more members of the group were arrested which included two brothers of Sawas. The police also came to know about the leader of the group, a 58 year old professor Alexandrous Giotopoulos. He was arrested from the island of Lipsi in July 2002. On September 5th, 2002 the Chief of Operations of N 17 group, Koufodinas, surrendered before the police. The Greek courts charged 19 members of the group for approximately 2500 crimes. Because of the limitations of the Greek law crimes before 1984 could not be tried. The arrested members were tried before the court which ended in March 2003. Fifteen of the accused were found guilty including Giotopoulos ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Terrorist Attacks On The World Trade Center There is little doubt that the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 drastically changed America's sense of security in recent years. Yet the country is facing another kind of threat, one that is not entirely different than the dangers of terrorism at a global scale: domestic terrorism. At its core, domestic terrorism differs from any other type of terrorism in the sense that those who carry it out are citizens or permanent residents of a given country and who inflict violence and intimidation against their fellow citizens or permanent residents in the pursuit of political aims (Sharpe, 2000, p. 606). In that sense, domestic terrorism may also be called homegrown terrorism. Perhaps the best, and most gruesome, example that shows the difference between domestic terrorism and other types of terrorism is the bombing of the World Trade Center. In the September 11 attacks, the perpetrators were Islamist jihadists who belong to al–Qaeda, a Sunni Islamist organization that America eventually categorized as a network of terrorist groups. Most of the direct perpetrators themselves were from Saudi Arabia while the rest were from Egypt, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates (Bell, Clay, Murdie & Piazza, 2014, p. 607). In other words, they were non–citizens of America. In the aftermath of the attacks, authorities revealed that most of the victims were American citizens and permanent residents.

  • 5. A Brief Note On The Intersection Of Technology And Terrorism Final Paper Sean Kosma ADMJ 1220 Dec. 5, 2014 Cyberterrorism: the intersection of technology and terrorism The cyber–world around us is an evolving organic entity. The incredible advancements with technology and the interconnectivity between such systems make everyday life for the average American as easy as swiping a finger. From a person's smartphone used to pass the time by mindlessly playing games to the United States' federal computer networks filled with incredibly confidential databases and mainframes, the wide range of differing types of technology and networks is utilized for an even larger spectrum of capabilities, depending on who is operating. With a world that is becoming much more dependent on these networks running smoothly and efficiently as possible, these networks are becoming prime targets for individuals or organizations that may have other, more malicious ideas of how to utilize the true capabilities of these networks. Present day has seen its fair share of networks that have been compromised by unauthorized actors, but the real question that arises with this looming theory of "cyberterrorism" is what the actors' desired endstate is. When a network is hacked and compromised, how the act is categorized is all dependent on the identity of those guilty, the intended targets, the desired outcome, and the overarching desired outcome the actors wished would come to fruition. All these components have led to the classification of cybercrimes, cyberterrorism, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Christian persecution by Muslim extremists in (mainly) northern Nigeria is and has been a serious problem for several years. The main contributors to this issue are the Islamic extremist and Muslim purist organization, Boko Haram. According to Religion Today, over 3000 people have been killed since Boko Haram began it's insurgency. Murders and jihads are a regular occurrence in Nigeria, with new reports seemingly coming out every day of another terrorist attack or mass shooting. With government being unsupportive of Christians and the constant persecution by extremists, the outlook has seemed bleak for a very long time, but quite recently the announcement of NASOC (Nigerian Army Special Operations Command) things could be starting to look up for the persecuted. Although Boko Haram is the most associated group with Christian persecution in Nigeria, Christians face many other threats as well. The government denies them basic facilities such as wells, schools, and of course, does not provide labor or funds for the building of churches. Apart from the government, there have also been emerging signs that al–Qaeda may have ties with Boko Haram. Before late 2013, Goodluck Jonathan had addressed concerns that the United States of America labeling Boko Haram a Foreign Terrorist Organization would draw more attention to them, possibly drawing support from other Muslim extremist groups. In light of the links between al– Qaeda and Boko Haram, Goodluck Jonathan announced the Nigerian ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The OECD report also explains how as a result of the attacks on both the US and UK, both counties have become more vigilant by increasing their border controls. This has slowed down the rate of supply at which goods are able to flow between countries and increased costs. Increased security checks at air, rail and seaports have seen delays for passengers and may impact the tourist industry as it impinges on travel plans.

  • 9. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Cyberterrorism Introduction Prevalent to the current trend now is the dependency of the society on Information technology and communication systems. Every aspect of human life is one way or the other linked and controlled by information technology tools. The importance of information technology cannot be over emphasized as its unavailability could lead to a form of disaster or the other. Pivotal infrastructures like finance, healthcare, education and security are driven by information technology. However, information technology and its benefits are accompanied by vulnerabilities and risks that can be exploited by people with the necessary technical skills. Individuals like 'Hackers' and 'Cyber Terrorist' can cause disruption to information systems, commit financial fraud and also attack computers and networks. These attacks and disruptions could result to violence against people and properties. In some cases, death, serious injuries and severe economic loss could occur as a result of these attacks. What is Cyberterrorism? A lot of opinions and meanings has been given to the word "Cyberterrorism". Some of these meanings and definitions varies. In this light, Gordon and Ford (2003) are concerned that when 10 people define cyberterrorism and nine of the given answers are different, and these 10 people represent different government agencies tasked with safeguarding national assets and infrastructure, then it becomes a critical issue. According to Furnell and Warren (1999), Evidence suggests that technology is growingly seen as a potential tool for terrorist organizations and the widespread use of information technology by terrorist groups and organizations has led to the birth of a new class of menace termed "Cyberterrorism". Cyberterrorism could be used in many diverse ways. Sometimes, a country's pivotal infrastructures could be shut down and harmed using computer network and tools. There have been impediments in trying to give a clear and concise definition to the term "cyberterrorism". But Denning (2007) which supersedes Denning (2000) gives an unambiguous definition to cyberterrorism: Cyberterrorism is generally understood to refer to highly damaging computer–based attacks or threats of attack by non–state actors against ...

The international community has largely failed to agree *P.L. 114 on a definition of terrorism which reconciles both the general Page2 abhorrence for violence which is indiscriminate and/or actively targets civilians, with the acknowledgement that some forms of political oppression may be so unjust as to legitimate violent action by the oppressed.21 While violent action was necessary to achieve decolonisation in many cases, and widely seen as legitimate when used for this purpose,22 the legitimacy of the use of violence in many present–day conflicts (Israel/Palestine being one example) is contested. If the use of violence for political ends is not seen as legitimate, it is frequently identified as "terrorism". Hence the lack of agreement: whereas a group employing violent means to bring about political change may be seen by some as legitimately struggling against oppression, the same group can be viewed by others as terrorists.23 To date, the international community has failed to agree upon a definition of "terrorism" which overcomes this basic obstacle.24 Instead, a range of international conventions have been adopted to criminalise at the international level certain actions which are often employed by those described as terrorists, rather than criminalising (or defining) "terrorism" per ...

Most of the world is aware of very few of these groups and are often only able to identify organizations that have committed very destructive and deadly attacks on citizens of western nations. Nearly everyone knows about Al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hezbollah because their intentions are well publicized and they have successfully struck fear into many groups. While these organizations are important to examine when studying terrorism, it is more important that we look at all the groups that data have been collected for to find out how terrorist groups work, their power and what factors are key to their continuing existence. The definition of terrorism for this study will remain very broad as the data was pulled together from several different sources to create one large data set.* To account for this, the definition used will be "Terrorism is violence, or the threat of violence, calculated to create an atmosphere of fear and alarm. These acts are designed to coerce others into actions they would not otherwise undertake, or refrain from actions they desired to take."

Crime is a feature in all societies and criminal justice is the response to a crime and can include protecting the citizens from everyday threats to their safety such as ensuring dangerous and persistent offenders are monitored effectively when in the community and imprisoned when necessary. Racism is the unequal treatment of a population group purely because of its' possession of physical or other characteristics socially defined as denoting a particular race (Scott and Marshall, 2005). There are strong beliefs that there is a correlation between race and crime also, race and how the criminal justice system deals with this problem and it is also believed that racism may play a part in this. This interest has largely been fuelled by one of the very few facts consistently recorded in crime statistics: ethnic minorities tend to be overrepresented in every stage of criminal justice systems. Discussion Race is often described as "Distinct group of people whose members share certain inherited physical characteristics such as skin colour and hair texture" (Covington 2000, p. 178). The public perception of crime is shown through ethnicity and stereotypes between different races.

(Starling) The issue of terrorism is that it doesn't stop and it's been going on for years now, and it seems that the people haven't done much to stop this. The reasoning is that since terrorism has been a thing for a while they have probably seen everything that they can do, so by trying to fight it, it will most likely become even worse. Terrorists are attacking more religious people than non–religious people because they might be against that race of the person, or what they believe in.

They mostly happened in these countries because all of these countries have a religion that they follow, and religious people, and terrorist's mostly will attack religious people. In the article " The Geography of Terrorism " by Kathy Gilsinan it states, "Since 2000 there has been over a five–fold increase in the number of deaths from terrorism, rising from 3,361 in 2000 to 17,958 in 2013." This quote is showing us the statistics of the amount of deaths from 2000 – 2013, and that terrorism is a big priority that needs to be fixed, telling from the 15,000 death increase. Also in the article it states, "Much of the increase in terrorism–related fatalities in 2013 took place in Iraq, where terrorists claimed nearly 4,000 lives–a 168–percent increase over 2012." This quote describes another reasoning that the amount of deaths are increasing because of terrorist attacks.

I feel that if he offered the readers the chance to reach their own conclusions it would have been a persuasive piece.

He used statistical ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This is a very limited and narrow framework for terrorism as it doesn't capture other motives behind an attack. A recent example is the 9/11 attack on the US, Abrahms definition doesn't capture other motives such as distancing a government from its citizens or strengthening a terrorist group's own position (Abrams, 2011). Even though it can be argued that he is identifying the most prominent type of terrorism, his definition is similar to military tactics that were used in both conventional and irregular wars (Said, 2011). The second weakness is his sample of twenty eight terrorist groups. Abrahms gathers all of the terrorist groups into one sample, even though there is a huge difference in method and ability between the groups that shouldn't be ignored. Terrorist groups such as the RAF are consisted of a small amount of protestors who use terrorism exclusively, while other complex actors, such as Hizbullah engage in multiple levels of political action (Said, 2011). The time frame in which the sample was made also needs mentioning. The time period in which this sample was constructed (2001–2006) is not reliable enough to assess the success of terrorist groups. His arguments would have been much more persuasive if he had another sample in order to assess groups such as the IRA, who use terrorism as part of a 'long strategy' (Rose, 2007).

  • 20. Tom And Bob Can Appoint Carl As A Replacement For Tom The first issue is whether Tom and Bob can appoint Carl as a replacement for Tom. In order to execute this function, it must first be determined whether Tom and Bob are still legitimate trustees given their current circumstances. The appointment of trustees will be made where a new trust is created either inter vivos or by will; and during the continuance for an existing trust whereby one trustee may seek to retire. On the death of a trustee, the remnants are given to the survivors to carry on the trust. Section 18(1) of the Trustee Act 1925 (UK) provides that where a power or trust is given to or imposed on two or more trustees jointly, the same may be exercised or performed by the survivors or survivor of them for the time being. Further, s. 48 (1) of the Trinidad and Tobago Trustee Act provides that the appointment of a new trustee are outside of the realms of a court and the execution is done by persons expressed in the trust instrument , or by the surviving trustees or by the survivor 's personal representative. Thus, Tom and Bob may have the power under the common law or Trinidadian statute to appoint Carl. However, there may also be the sub issue of whether Tom has the competence to make the appointment of a new trustee.

Meanwhile, the stop–and–search powers were deemed illegal by the ECtHR. The Court maintained that the act did not provide "adequate legal safeguards for abuse" and that Section 44 was not "sufficiently circumscribed"– Moreover, the Court acknowledged that the power to search in and of itself was not unlawful. However, the ECtHR accentuated the risk "of the discriminatory use of the powers" and considered it to be "a very real consideration".

Unfortunately that is not true, which we found that terrorism can and did reach our shores and change our lives, this unfortunate realization took place on September 11, 2001.

Answer these questions with appeal to a) theories and concepts of terrorism, and b) a case study of one terrorist group that has 'ethno–nationalist' characteristics. A main misconception of terrorism especially in today's society is that, society views terrorism as faith– based acts of violence, when it may not be the case. Terrorism is an illegitimate mean to achieve a cause; it is a willful defense of an ideology or a political group. These acts by sub state actors who violently target non–combatants to communicate a political a message. Terrorist are neither crazy nor ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Strain Theory Of Terrorism Other than that research, Todd Sandler (2013) saw the correlation between the Terrorism & Game Theory, as he explains:" Game theory shows how terrorists exploit asymmetric warfare to their strategic advantage. Terrorist networks allow terrorists to deploy their ''best–shot'' effort against targeted countries whose lack of cooperation means that there are always soft targets or the weakest links for terrorists to attack for maximum gain. In addition, terrorists choose an optimal risk– minimizing network structure." Many other researchers, (ex.

Regarding the behavioral explaination, Post (1998) "stated that if terrorism was strategic and rational, such groups should be more likely to disband after they achieve victories." (...)

A more eye–catching figure, often quoted by Ministers, is for "terrorism–related arrests". 289 of these were recorded in 2014 (as against 223 in 2013, 258 in 2012, 170 in 2011 and an average of 216 since September 2001).122 As I have previously noted, caution is required in relation to these figures. But in 2014, 86% of those charged following "terrorism–related arrests" were charged with offences considered to be linked to terrorism, a substantial increase over the equivalent figure of 56% in 2013. They were focused on the last quarter of the year, which saw 46% of the arrests under TA 2000 section 41 and 37% of all the terrorism–related arrests. There was a large increase in the number of 18–20 year olds being arrested, which more than tripled from 15 in 2013 to 46 in 2014. Continuing a recent trend, the great majority (78%) of "terrorism–related arrests" were under PACE rather than TA 2000 section 41. This contrasts with the period 2003–2007, in which over 90% of such arrests were under TA 2000. Two possible explanations are increased use of holding charges (identity offences, benefits fraud, internet–related offences) while terrorist offences are investigated, and the advent of certain precursor offences under TA 2006 in respect of which the TA 2000 section 41 arrest power (which is limited to the categories of person specified in section 40) may not be ...

The definition of the European Union (2013) characterizes terrorism as an premeditated act with the aim of "seriously intimidating a population, or unduly compelling a government or international organization to perform or abstain from performing any act, or seriously destabilizing or destroying the fundamental political, constitutional, economic or social structures of a country or an international organization" (European Union, 2002, p. 4).

According to several figures from the Global Terrorism Database, between 2000–2017, 126 have been killed in the UK as a result of a terrorist act, this, compared to the 1,094 deaths between 1985– 1999, and a further 2,211 deaths among 1970–1984, leads us to the conclusion that terrorism is killing less people in the UK now, than it was in the 1980's. Since 1970 UK has faced the most deaths, as a result of a terrorism act, in Western Europe, with a total of 3,395. With the UK's threat level left at severe, terrorism is an increasing concern for the people in Europe, but figures show that Europe is one of safest areas, compared to other regions, like the Middle East or North Africa.

Impact of the Human Rights Act In terms of substantive law, the HRA has had a significant impact in many areas of English law. One of the more obvious,8 and controversial,9 examples is the law relating to privacy. However the impact of the HRA has not been limited to privacy, criminal law, and immigration/asylum. The Act is being increasingly invoked in commercial litigation, and was recently relied on by Northern Rock shareholders seeking to challenge the Government's 2008 compensation scheme.10 Also significant is that the HRA has, in practice, a measure of 'horizontal effect'. Section 6(1) of the Act makes it unlawful for Courts (as public authorities)11 to act in a manner incompatible with Convention rights, and UK courts are thus obliged to have regard to Convention rights even where these arise in private disputes.12 In addition, whatever the situation regarding recent anti–terrorism legislation,13 it is generally true that questions of human rights are now considered in a more systematic manner, and at an earlier stage of the legislative process, than was the case before 1998.14 *P.L. 113 In light of the foregoing, it is incorrect to describe the "continuing futility" of the HRA,15 and is not mere hyperbole to describe the ...

  • 35. The Importance Of The Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Safety is a fundamental right that we all deserve. Most of us rely on the government to provide this security. We pay for this through taxes, but the question that we must ask ourselves is are we getting what we are paying for? By paying our taxes to the government we are giving it the authority to choose the service we are getting back. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) is an Act of Parliament which instituted a legislative framework for the powers of police officers in England and Wales to combat crime, as well as providing codes of practice for the exercise of those powers. PACE sets out to strike the right balance between the powers of the police and the rights and freedoms of the public. Maintaining that balance is a central element of PACE. These powers have been given to the police to insure our safety however how much power the police really hold is limited by the PACE, the police must carry out their duty without breaching the rights of individuals. the question of whether or not these rights should be abolished is a debatable one. The police stop and search power first came about in 1984 the aim of this act was to protect the rights of the public from the misconduct of police officers. some may argue that they are still not protected by this act.Scottish ministers are under renewed pressure to abolish controversial police stop–and–search powers, after United Nations human rights experts said they were potentially breaching international law.

  • 36. Terrorism: Is It Mala in Se or Mala Prohibita Essay The criminal justice system uses the concepts of "mala prohibita" and "mala in se" to show the difference between legally proscribed offenses and morally proscribed offenses. Legally proscribed offenses are offenses that are wrong simply because there a formal rule keeps someone from doing them. The morally proscribed offenses are offenses that cannot be justified in a sophisticated society. For example, legally proscribed offenses are offenses such as prostitution, and gambling and morally proscribed offenses are thing like premeditated murder and forcible rape. The State of Washington vs. Thaddius X. Anderson was a perfect example of a case of "mala prohibita" and "mala in se". The sole issue before us is whether "knowing possession" is ...

  • 37. The Pros And Cons Of Religious Terrorism Religious terrorism is majorly underpinned by the idea that religious terrorists employ different violent tactics that are more deadly and indiscriminate compared to other forms of terrorism. Religious terrorism is alleged to be distinct from other forms of terrorism because it involves acts of purification (Gunning & Jackson 2011). These acts are based of ancient rituals, such as self– sacrifice, commonly martyrdom, or targeting a large portion of noncombatants to sacrifice or because they are non–believers, instead of targeting specific political symbols to achieve political aims (Gunning & Jackson 2011). Considering this view, religious terrorism is argued to be deadlier because such terrorists aspire to cause maximum casualties. Following this argument, this characteristic of religious terrorism is different to other forms of terrorism because they do not target any specific defined political demands, since they want to destroy the society and eradicate a great portion of the population (Spencer 2006). This type of act is grounded on the idea that such terrorists see their struggle as good against evil (Spencer 2006). As a result they have dehumanize their victims and anyone who are not apart of their struggle as infidels or traitors (Spencer 2006). Not only does this indiscriminate violence becomes morally acceptable for them but it becomes a righteous and a necessary expedient for their religious purpose and objectives.

The United States And The Soviet Union Following WWII the United States and it's citizens longed for a century of peace, but due to the rise in Communism in Asia it was clearly not meant to be. The Korean and Vietnam Wars established the US as "the world's policemen" even though the purpose of the wars were to prevent the spread of Communism. By taking part in these wars the United States's relationship with the Soviet Union reached a boiling point in the Cuban Missile Crisis, but was finally defused and the world was spared of a nuclear disaster. The Soviet Union finally fell in the early The 1990s and allowed the United States to become the undisputed superpower in the world. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the rise of computers kept the US at the front of technological advancement, and kept the country relevant but countries like India and China began to grow at an alarming rate. Labor from India and products from China created an imbalance in America's economy and also caused the country to fall into deep debt. The United States' goal in the 21st century was to defend its' title as the super power in the world.

Their job was to protect the palace and the emperor. "Vigiles" were known as early roman firefighters and were eventually also given law enforcement responsibilities. 2.
