Advanced Topics in Criminal Justice CJUS399-1401B-01 Professor Russ Pomrenke IP 1 Michael Davidson Due date 2/25/14 Between the years of 1991-2001 the U.S. has witnessed a few terrorist attacks that have lead on to the largest attack known to this day as September 11th. During the timeframe chosen (1991-2001) there were warning signs that occurred and should have set in motion improved counter-terrorism policies. However, it did not occur. One may say because of the arrogance of government officials’ mentality of being “untouchable” we were vulnerable and left open for attacks. Because of the underestimation and lapse of judgment of the U.S. government officials, we were attacked by a force to reckon with, Al-Qaeda.

September 11th, 2001 In my perspective, what happened on September 11th, 2001, was an act of terrorism on the United States. It was a decade ago that 19 terrorists took control of four planes, flew two into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, hit the Pentagon with a third, and crashed the fourth in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers resisted and made it impossible for the terrorists to complete their mission. The government also thought that 9/11 was an act of terrorism put on by the Muslims. While conspiracy theorists have a different perspective because they believe that there was more to this attack, it was plotted out and people from America were in on it. There have been many different perspectives on what really happened on this day.

Pathological Terrorism JUST 364 Terrorism in Media & Law 11/12/2012 Final Paper In this paper I would like to outline the definition of terrorism, the causes, most known cases, mental health research, and my possible solutions. Pathological terrorism has been the most prevalent crime that has been seen in American society. My belief in this issue is that the person or people who cause this terror are simply trying to get their message across to high officials because of their disbeliefs of policies or events such as the Ruby Ridge incident in August 1992. The unknown about these individuals is their mentality and how to properly treat them before terror strikes. I chose this topic because it interested me to know why theses individuals
1), many political scientists believe that most terrorists are rational people with tactical goals. Evans, for example, argues that terrorism is a strategy. Those who use it want to publicize their cause, draw the enemy into a costly conflict, provoke an overreaction that will make the enemy look foolish or evil, recruit supporters, and prevent compromise. Robert Pape also believes that suicide terrorism has an underlying strategic logic. In his view, “Suicide-terrorist attacks are not driven by religion as much as they are by a clear strategic objective: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland” (as cited in McConnell,
September 11th: Recounting the Disaster September 8,2011 September 11th 2011 began like any other fall day in, settling comfortably at 75 degrees Fahrenheit in New York City. Unsuspecting Americans boarded four flights in four different locations. United Airlines flights 175 and 93 and American Airlines flights 77 and 11. The four were each hijacked by groups of four to five men belonging to the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. It was not until American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the North tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 A.M that the world was aware any of this had even happened.
