Criminology & Terrorism

Introduction

This is a research proposal that discusses over with a brief introduction of the whole research paper including the major areas of focus. The research proposal will also contain the problem to be addressed in the research. Under this research proposal would be very supportive in developing the research questions and objectives. They are a key part of the research since they will provide a guideline for the whole research. The research will also provide the relevance and significance of the research. (Alam, 2005)

Aims and Objective

The paper is aimed at examining the topic of terrorism and affiliating terrorism in context of criminology. Secondly, the research proposal would combine the justice provided by national law in context of the terror criminology. The main goal of this research is to provide a sound empirical research on the most heinous crime 'terrorism'. There have been a number of studies in criminological research but the primary focus of such research is on 'crimes of the powerless', whereas the current research focuses on how terrorist activities and collective crime threatens the present world. Further research on terrorism will not only induce more advanced discussions on anti-terrorism policy measures, but will also help expansion of criminology's empirical and theoretical domain. Terrorism is the actual use or threat to use violence for political or criminal motives. (Gilbert 2006)

Consequently, the community is coerced to act in accordance with the wishes of the terrorists. Terrorists often seek the destabilization of a state by causing as much chaos as possible, through a radical transformation of the existing order. All the acknowledgments will be illustrated in the Reference section of this research proposal which can be found at the ...
