The perception of prisoner radicalization is an extrusive issue and as of recently, has quickly developed itself as a growing concern in the United States. Prisoner radicalization manifests within the enigmatic subgroups of prison inmate gangs and radical elucidations of religious values which overtime, stimulate the formulation principles based upon fanaticism, abhorrence and violence (Hamm, 2017). Currently, our government is unaware of the actual extent of the issue regarding terrorist’s impacts on prison inmates. However, many of the scholars and experts in prisoner radicalization through terrorist influence, believe that immediate attention needs to be focused in this area, further improving upon our understanding of the growing potential threat.

In the Ethical Life, by Russ Shafer-Landau, chapters written by Michael Walzer and Alan Dershowitz express their knowledge and opinions on the topics of terrorism and torture. Is it possible to justify and defend such acts? In the chapter “Terrorism: A Critique of Excuses”, author Michael Walzer shuts down four excuses that attempt to justify terrorism. In the chapter, “Should the Ticking Bomb Terrorist Be Tortured?”, Alan Dershowitz defends his theory that it is necessary to torture a terrorist if that means saving the lives of innocent people while protecting their civil liberties and human rights at the same time. Terrorism can never be moral because it violates all “excuses” and torture is an acceptable tactic to save lives.
Unfortunately, the process was stopped but Pope Benedict XVI reopened the process
September 11th 2001 is a date that will live in the memory of the American people for the rest of our country’s history. With over 2000 deaths and 6000+ injured the lives of many were changed forever. Along with these tragedies the lives of all Americans changed forever. The US began the war on terror, new safety precautions were enacted, and for many Americans the world’s second largest religion became the enemy. But what is terrorism, why do people resort to it, and is there anything that can be done?
Gaining media recognition, though still a paramount goal of guerrilla factions, is a tributary aim in that it is a stepping stone on the way to accomplishing superior objectives. Terrorists exploit “propaganda by the deed” and recognise that intercontinental activities will secure extreme media revelation. Initially, the PLO restricted their attacks to civil and Zionist institutions however, in order to ‘enlighten western civic opinion’ it became indispensable to alter their target to civilians both within and outside of Israel. Bruce Hoffman, one of the most prominent academics working in the field of terrorism, gives light to the efforts of the PLO as a manifestation of terrorism’s efficacy as a political tactic and places a substantial prominence on the internationalisation of their turmoil.

Tighter airport security has improved airline transportation’s security and reduced the number of attacks on airlines since 9/11. For example the Christmas 2009 day tentative to blow up the plane during a flight Amsterdam Detroit was a tactic to escape airport security measures, which were effective in controlling terrorist behaviors (Howard & Hoffman, 2012). Tapped phone lines and internet monitoring have helped to prevent some important plots in the country. “Jihad Jane” activities were uncovered by such means (Howard & Hoffman, 2012). The support of counterterrorism by citizens means that sacrifice is needed from every one.
After a terrorist attack of any kind there are always consequences that must be faced. Sometimes the point of the terrorist attacks is because the organization wished to send a message or to influence policy in their favor. However, after the 9/11 attacks administrators realized that the United States was not prepared for a tragedy of this kind and had little to no measures to prevent one, this lead them to create new programs and policies. Terrorist organization’s goal often comes down to one of the following: regime change, territorial change, policy change, social control and status quo maintenance. The main purpose of a terror attack may well be to influence public policy.
There is also a huge possibility that this terrorism could happen from a failure of a relationship, friendship or lost of a family member. There is a lot of children in the world who has personal problems at home that people need to take in consideration early, so the stress don’t build up to cause them to lose their minds. Studies show these effects of harming other pedestrians comes from family violence, abuse, neglect and most importantly bullying. To help these cases these children should be provided treatment to help them with their basic life and their interpersonal skills. Also law enforcement need to stop babying the youth that
Article Review: Rubenstein The chapter of The New Global Terrorism, Pyscho-Political Sources of Terrorism by Richard Rubenstein is a qualitative study that seeks to explain terrorist motivation using the attacks of The World Trade Center and Pentagon that took place in America on September 11, 2001. I found this article well written and interconnected to many conflict theories which I will explore in further detail throughout my review. In reference to my previous statement, this article is a qualitative study because it is seeking to understand a phenomenon using accounts of what happened rather than numbers to explain the study.
Liqueur defines the modern terrorists the best allies to the media; he continues by saying that the act of terrorism itself cannot stand by itself unless there is the presence of media to broadcast and spread the evil doings (Laqueur 1976;104). This surely implies that the terrorist always seeks media attention so as to spread their works of terror. Margret Thatcher a government official say that governments should come up with a way to make sure that terrorists as well hijackers don’t get the opportunity to announce their activities in public. Jerkins broadly expand on this the case of terrorism and comes to a conclusion that ‘Terrorism attacks are often very carefully choreographed thus to attract the attention of the electronic media and most importantly the International press. In such a scenario whereby they do take hostages to increase the level of drams involved even though the hostages mean less or nothing to the hostages.
What happens in a terrorist attack affects many people in the world. The aftermath of an attack is what has the largest impact on people’s lives.
