Strategic Logic That Drives Terrorist Violence: Finding Logic in the Illogical Carlos Carlos Arizona State University CRJ 419: Domestic Terrorism Dr. Garth den Heyer February 26, 2023 Abstract To hear terrorism being linked with a word such as logic can sound strange, especially when considering that the use of fear makes the action sound more like it’s based off emotion rather than logic. However, just as terrorism can be seen from different points of views and can be interpreted differently by the involved parties, so too can logic be applied in a manner that works when talking about something generally based off emotion. That isn’t to say that actions coming from emotions can all be described as logical, merely that logic

Through the ‘ecological framework’ by Heise in 1998, the interplay relationships of personal, situation and sociocultural factors of intimate partner violence are best explained.
