Describe the similarities and differences between terrorists and organized criminals as indicated by Michael Stohl. Do you believe the similarities outweigh the differences, indicating a growing collusion between the two groups?
What will be an ideal response?
• Terrorists seek media coverage to enhance their aura, and they want their dramatic criminal activities publicized.
• Criminals avoid the media, seeking to operate under the public radar.
• Both criminals and terrorists are frequently charged under the same criminal statutes, but this is often because governments seek to discredit the political claims of terrorists.
• Criminal groups employ terrorist tactics, and terrorists commit crimes.
• Terrorists may associate with criminal groups to add to their reputation of ruthlessness.
• Criminals and terrorists may form alliances, use the same underground networks, share operational motivations and sometimes even combine operations.
