Theoretical perspective and issues
According to Blakemore, 2016 every nation is having a similar perspective on terrorism.
It state that the act of terror is just to kill people in name of jihad. The major terror attack world
observed was on 11 September 2001 in US. So, after that attack each country decided to form
policy for it. Also, it changed the perspective of all people and society. However, it led to make
things easy as on view of culture there was change in things. In UK many people started
involving in terror. They believed in radicalism and violent Islamism. However, there are some
theories on basis of which terrorism is seen. It differs within society and has influenced mind of
people. Now, in Islam terrorism is viewed as violence against other people. But many people
view it as jihad. In their perception this is required to protect and save religion. But in other
religions terrorism is related to islam. Here, perception is completely different. All people
belonging to that religion are viewed as terrorist. This has to be change in mind of people.
Another theory which can be applied is psychological one in which it depends on behavior of
people that how they react and behave with social elements. So, it depends on psychological
factor of society that how people are able to relate terrorism with their social norms and ethics.
This means when things is changed then it change opinion of other people.
So, in opinion of Den Boer, 2019) there are some issues which has occurred in it. Due to change
in theory and perception people are not able to find out definition of terrorism. This has led to
inter personal issues. Besides this, government is not able to analyse that what is right and wrong
