Explain why law enforcement is making greater strides in understanding domestic terrorism

What will be an ideal response?


Law enforcement agencies have made great strides in understanding domestic terrorism over the past decade. This is partially due to the nature of politically motivated crime and violence. As Donald Black (2004) states, the three main ingredients of modern terrorism are (1) an angry group of people or sometimes even a single enraged individual (2) with the ability to travel and (3) with access to technology that can cause massive casualties. All three ingredients are available to people who wish to take criminal action based on various political positions. Stated simply, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies have had quite a bit of experience with such criminal activity, and they are getting better at handling it.
