Preparations, Actions and Concern during a Domestic Terrorism Emergency

In Terrorism:Concepts,Causes,andConflictResolution, William G.

Simply defined, terrorism is a violent reaction to a complex set ofsocio-economic, political, cultural and possibly religiousvariables that have both long term preconditionsand short term precipitant triggers thatneed to be addressed with a multidimensional intervention to get rid of underlying causesand cycles of violence (Cunningham, 2003). When such acts are committed by one in their own country against their own people, it is termed as domestic terrorism
