Terrorism

Sociology - The Essentials describes terrorism as 'the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimate...a government or population in furtherance of political or social objectives'. Terrorism is a very powerful issue in the modern United States and also exhibits a variety of themes from sociology ranging from deviance to taboo to revolution. Terrorism is a very ambiguous debate as one can question the morality of personal goals of groups and individuals.

This 2002 article is intriguing to view as a study of sociology and criminology shortly following one of the largest terrorist acts of the 21st century. While it is dated it still serves as an effective reminder of a nation at the height of the terrorist fear in the midst of an attack and how the psychology of terrorism affected groups.

The second site is again a government run objective based perspective of terrorism in order to portray the intensity and severity of terrorism modernly. The measures actively taken and the dedication of bureaucratic social groups exhibits the class separation between those who align with deviant groups.
