There are a large number of identified definitions of what would constitute ¿terrorism¿ under national and international law. Currently, Dry Run terrorism; Cyber terrorism; Individual terrorism; Lone Wolf terrorism; Bioterrorism; Radicalised terrorism; and Eco-Home grown terrorism have been identified. Due to these various formats of what would constitute ¿terrorism¿ and a ¿terrorist act¿, over a hundred definitions of ¿terrorism¿ have been identified in the existing academic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the international community has been unable to agree upon a universal definition. The term of ¿terrorism¿, however, is rooted in the political discourse of the French, more specifically the French Revolution where the use of the term a ¿reign of terror¿ came into being. The French word terrorisme derives from the Latin verb terre¿ meaning ¿I frighten¿. The defeat of the Jacobins transformed the word into a powerful new governmental form of criminality. Despite its origins in governmental atrocities towards citizens, it now applies to individual citizen acts as well as organizations and national state governments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783668390690\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783668390690","offer_id":39426950987869,"sku":"9783668390690","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e7bbb1f6-b425-4211-9c85-6600ba7e042b.jpg?v=1778388177","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/terrorism-criminological-and-psychological-theories-von-alexander-syder","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
