Unformatted Attachment Preview

5 Pages Define the terminology of Domestic Terrorism and International Terrorism. Similarities vs. Differences . In both Domestic and International Terrorism who are the intended targets/victims? Is there any way to avoid becoming a target of Terrorism? When it comes to any act of terrorism, who is considered the direct and indirect victims? Questions that need to be looked at while watching the documentary on "Mug Shots: Timothy McVeigh" We talked about how we sometimes have to overlap Criminology with Victimology. With that said we need to look at who Timothy McVeigh was and describe what his childhood was like as well as his adulthood. • His military experiences and leaving with Gulf War Syndrome AKA PTSD....what is it and did it possibly play a role in his actions. What was his motive behind the bombing Did he act alone or did he have outside influences that may have backed his cause. What 2 critical events triggered McVeigh to seek revenge against the government? o Why did he pick the Murrah Federal Building? Who were his intended victims? Did he care that there were going to be innocent civilians as possible victims? Was McVeigh viewed as a victim? How and Why? Should we as Americans view him as victim? How was he caught? What was his sentence? Is he still alive today? O O O O O O O Questions that need to be looked at while watching "Heroes and Victims of Oklahoma City Bombing" Are first responders indirect victims of a terrorist attack? If so, how? Was the picture taken of the police officer, fire fighter and deceased baby portrayed properly in the media? How did the media spin the story using the picture and did they do it ethically? How did that picture affect the people in it? How did they cope with being "Famous” for doing their job? How was the mother of the baby treated by other victims? What type of treatment is needed to overcome the psychological distress brought on by experiencing this terror and do you think people actually overcome it? . Do some research and look into how Oklahoma City responded to the victims of that terrorist attack. How did they handle the trial of Timothy McVeigh along with the media coverage? This was the first time we as Americans had a terrorist attack on our soil by an American citizen. How did that change our view on safety and response to these types of attacks? Did we learn anything that could have helped us respond better to 9/11 or did we never expect to experience another attack on our own turf?

Domestic and International Terrorism

Domestic terrorism pertains to acts of violence that are aimed at destroying the physical
infrastructure or harming and killing the population of a given nation. Citizens of the same country
might perpetrate the act although it is not always the case. International terrorism, on the other
hand, is the acts of terrorism which are committed outside a particular country, but which are
crimes where committed and would also be regarded to be criminal if committed within the
primary state. The intended targets of domestic terrorism are normally the citizens or infrastructure
of the country where it occurs. The intended target of international terrorism is the citizens or
infrastructure which belongs to another nation other than where the crime is committed. There is
no specific way of avoiding to become a target of terrorism as the acts are often random and not
easily noticeable by the general public before they occur. In any act of terrorism, the victims are
those who are the primary targets of the perpetrators. An instance would be citizens of a given
country in a foreign embassy. Indirect victims are those who were not the primary targets of the

perpetrators. An instance would be people who are not citizens of the target country but happened
