Terrorism, Crime and Public Policy
Terrorism, Crime and Public Policy
, explores the concept of terrorism by examining the meaning of
terrorism and questioning the many different interpretations of
the label. In order to understand terrorism, the author explores
the definitions and typologies of terrorism. "The common
modern usage of the term, developed in the mid-twentieth
century, regards terrorism as a tool of ethnic and religious
fanatics to serve political ends, such as liberation from an alien
occupying group, or simply to exact righteous vengeance
against a group labeled as a threat or enemy" (Forst, 2007, p. 3).
The article goes on to explore the different definitions, and
defining characteristics, such as cell-based networks, political
motivation, religious ideology, and the targeting of
noncombatants. A large part of terrorism is creating and
utilizing fear. The article suggest that managing the
population's general fear of terrorism may be more effective
than targeting terrorists themselves (Forst, 2007). The article
goes on to discuss different viewpoints regarding what terrorism
truly is, whether it is a tactic or an ideology.
Forst identifies categories that nearly all acts of terrorism and
terrorist groups fit into which help distinguish between the
different types of terrorists, terrorist groups, and terrorist acts:
* whether or not politically motivated
* whether or not operating under state authority
* degree of association with larger terrorist organizations or
networks
* extent of organization and planning
* whether justified in religious or ethnic terms
* whether aimed primarily at people or at symbolic targets
* the types of people targeted
I found this article interesting, and found the exercise of
examining the different definitions of terrorism useful. The
author's categories designed for distinguishing between terror
related incidents and groups is an interesting tool for examining
the differences between terrorist organizations and actors.
Personally, I generally attribute the label terrorism to any
violent or destructive act, which is primarily motivated by
extremist religious or political beliefs. I view terrorism strictly
as an ideology, although it is technically possible for entities to
utilize terrorism as a tactic, I believe that to carry out acts of
terrorism, one must be driven by an extremist ideology.

The author's categories designed for distinguishing between terror related incidents and groups is an interesting tool for examining the differences between terrorist organizations and actors. Personally, I generally attribute the label terrorism to any violent or destructive act, which is primarily motivated by extremist religious or political beliefs. I view terrorism strictly as an ideology, although it is technically possible for entities to utilize terrorism as a tactic, I believe that to carry out acts of terrorism, one must be driven by an extremist ideology.
