Application: Comparing Terrorist Groups

In the readings this week, many different terrorist groups, historic and contemporary, are discussed. While these and other terrorist groups may share some commonalities, it is important to keep in mind that no two terrorist groups are exactly the same. Each terrorist group can be unique in terms of their membership, goals and objectives, and tactics they use to carry out acts of terror. For instance, one terrorist group may engage in assassinations and suicide bombings while another may engage in hijackings and the use of weapons of mass destruction. Public administrators and policymakers must be aware of such differences and create distinct policies and strategies aimed at combating terrorism promulgated by specific terrorist groups.
