ECONOMY, CRIME MANAGEMNET AND TERRORISM
Terrorism can be defined as the practice of violence unlawfully in order to exhibit power
and intimidation over people. It is often practiced over civilians which is intended to gain
political control and in the pursuit of power. It often gets difficult to distinguish among the
crimes which are committed politically, such as violent crimes and armed conflicts which arise
within state such as homicide and hate crime. It might get difficult to distinguish between them
as the distinctions are not always clear. However, it is necessary to make the differences in order
to understand the graveness of terrorism. Terrorism leads to the loss of several lives while others
get injured in the process. Violence is exerted primarily to gain power and control which is
morally incorrect. Terrorism is the cause of immense destruction which and degeneration.
The advances of technology have made it easier for the perpetrators and terrorists
actualize their interests while making civilians suffer and become victims to the force of power
and violence. There are various interests and reasons behind terrorism such as religious
inclinations desires, influences or to disrupt the political stability (Hyder, Akram & Padda,
2015). People with similar interests or beliefs organize and try to gather attention to reign their
influence and bring together more people to organize their ways to increase domination and
influence on the governments. There are various ways in which pressure is exerted over people,
such as intimidation, holding people as hostages and inducing violence. On the contrary, the
natural disasters take place without direct participation of people which result in massive
destruction and wrecking of the society. The threats which are associated with terrorism has
grown manifold so as the occurrences of natural disasters. It is arguable whether the impacts
which are caused due to natural disasters are same or of similar magnitude to those caused by
terrorist activities and attacks.

Terror have risen over the last few decades as there have been increase in the rise of
terror groups and attacks across the world. Terrorism has drastically influenced the world
politics, more so, after the terrorist attacks which were conducted in New York in 2001, 11th
September. It has caused impactful effects in several domains and aspects of life. Society and
politics have been left changed after the terrorist attacks which were brought upon humanity by
the darker force of the same. The definitions which are drawn to refer to the cases and actions
differ in case of different government agencies and institutions based on the opinions, biases and
the kind of terrorist activities which are committed by the organizations of such beliefs and
practices.
Terrorism has taken form of a global or international phenomenon which is ever
increasing. The power and influence of terrorist groups have been increasing over time as they
have made the process of organizing more force very systematic. A process is followed in order
to recruit and train people to be a part of the process which are conducted by terror groups. The
groups are more specialized and have access to the best technological amenities which allow
them to map out active operations which are intended in different locations of the world which
suit their interests. The target audience or the civilians are located in order to assert power over
them and intimidate. Terrorism, as have been understood that will continue to grow and become
stronger as a force if nations do not unite and curb the destructive force of the dark side of
humanity.
Natural disasters have been one of the reasons behind the loss of lives and impactful
negative effects, such as injury and fear of security among people in the societies which are most
victimized in the world. The political scenarios express the need to integrate and combat with the
pressing subject on the international and global level (Brisard & Martinez, 2014). There are

several interest groups which support and aid the exchange of dangerous weapons and amenities
which are detrimental and cause hazardous impact over the society and the people to the location
and people concerned. As a result, several countries’ economy, political stability and societal
structure have been dismantled (Schneider, 2017). Small groups are able to thrive, plan their
actions and execute them in such situations and continue influencing the government and assert
control and power of the civilians with the help of violence and crime.
There are several groups which have successfully made their power felt across the globe
with their terrorizing activities. The problems which are faced by the civilians are increasing
every single day and weakening the societal structure as the most affected are the ones which are
less privileged in the society. There have been emergence of several terror groups, especially in
the underdeveloped countries as such crimes and violence are not adequately monitored,
controlled and met with. More proactive measures are required to control, curb and eradicate
forces of unmeasured violent crimes and terrorism. The weaker sections of the countries are the
most affected as they are exploited for the survival and propagation of the interests as they are
much easier to target and assert power over, in such a world (Choi, 2016). The rich and powerful
people of the society have often been on the other end of the issues as they have aided and
exploited the poorer sections of the society to reign supreme in the societal structures or suit the
interests of the privileged.
The term terrorism is not new and undiscovered, but the extent of the same has only
increased. It is hard to define often as it has been in practice for over centuries. There are several
definitions which are associated with the term which include ideas such as tactic mechanism,
holy duties which are related to nationalism and religion, strategies which are followed to gain
power and control, crime or a mechanism to resist forces of oppression which are faced by the
