I once read that though the subject of terrorism is quite large, but for the purposes of physical prevention methods, there are relatively few aspects that have actual and practical implications for the security professional (as opposed to strictly theoretical ones). This is what we will explore on this course.

 

Terrorism is a type of criminal activity

 

Let's face it, rather than being in a unique category on its own, terrorism falls under the general umbrella of criminal activity. This simple point might seem a bit counterintuitive at first, especially when comparing a conventional crime like, say, a bank robbery to a terrorist attack in the form of a suicide bombing.

 

While it is true that the outcomes of many terrorist attacks cannot be easily categorized with the outcomes of more conventional crimes, from a preventative standpoint, we should be focussing on influencing and disrupting the planning stages of the attack whatever the motive is.  We accept that there are huge differences between the results of a bank robbery and those of a suicide bombing for example, but when we reverse engineer these results to see how they were planned, we find almost identical planning stages – common general stages that can be used for achieving very different results.

 

This point is important to keep in mind because, as had been mentioned before, the idea behind proactive prevention is to target hostile planning rather than wait and then be forced to contend with hostile actions.  This means that it is possible, through criminal or terrorist activity prevention, to cast a wide preventative net that can disrupt not just the planning of terrorist attacks but the planning of all other crimes that share these same planning traits.
