Terrorist activities
Terrorist activity can be explained as the political cause that increases the threat of violence in
the whole world. The terrorist activity is a difficult quantifying object that has the tendency to
destroy the common people only for the shake of their demands (Yang & Jen, 2018). In recent
decades, the activities of terrorism have increased rapidly, and its effect is taken place in some
regions of the world.

western countries. As per the data, the true extent of this activities constitutes about 1,300 cities
in the nation and in every city the terrorist aspect has been increasing day by day (Galović, Bezić
& Mišević, 2018). The extent of this terrorist activates are so long that the government of various
countries cannot cumulatively reduce its adverse impacts on common people.
Occurring of the terrorist activities
The terrorist activities has taken place in about 65 cities of the nation of which the western
countries such as Afghanistan, Libya, India, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan and Belgium,
United States and France are the common countries which faces this activity tremendously in
comparison to their other countries (Friemert et al., 2017).
Offenders involving in this crime
The offenders mainly involved in this crime are the common people who engaged themselves in
the ISIS atrocities. For doing terrorism, the terrorist leaders often attract the common people to
join their group, and instead of that, they provide all sorts of facilities to their families (Yang &
Jen, 2018). Due to this, most of the innocent people becomes one of the offenders of this crime.

their surroundings so that they can reduce and stop the adverse effect of the terrorism (Mete,
2016).
Causes of this crime
The causes of these terrorist activities are as follows:
 Terrorist activities occurs due to the violent resistance of the state as well as the services
of the country (Friemert et al., 2017)
 Changes in political activities by the government also considered as a cause of this
criminal activity
 The changing governmental rules is also a reason for generating this criminal activity
 For reducing the governmental act, this activities are executed by the terrorists
Reasons for existing as a transnational crime
The terrorist activities are generally coordinated across the borders by involving networks as
well as a group of individuals that execute illegal business in more than an individual country
(Mete, 2016). In addition, the criminal activates involves many national borders and affect the
common people and country, and for this reason, it is demonstrated as a transnational crime.
