WEEK 7 ASSIGNMENT CJ 101

Case Study: Terrorists and Extremists As described in the Module 7 criminologist Gwynn Nettler outlined all terrorism shares six characteristics: 1. No Rules-No moral limitations on the type or degree of violence that terrorists can use. 2. No Innocents-No respecter of persons; from soldiers to children; all are game. 3. Economy-Kill one, frighten 10,000 4. Publicity-Terrorists seek publicity, and publicity encourages terrorism. 5. Meaning-Terrorist acts give meaning and significance to the lives of terrorists. 6. No Clarity-Beyond the immediate aim of destructive acts, the long-term goals of terrorists are likely to be poorly conceived or impossible to implement. Terrorism that succeeds escalates. The last seven slides of the Module 7 Power Point presentation depicted the following case studies of actual terrorist or extremist type events. Select one of these case studies, do further research on it and complete a 2-page essay discussing the application of these six characteristics in the event you select. In addition, the student will state if the chosen event was a Domestic or International event and why it is so. Students must include a minimum of two references, one being from an outside, non-GU source.
