In today's world, humanity faces many threats. However, among all the problems, one global is distinguished - this is terrorism. This criminal behavior is common throughout the civilized world. It does not have a human face, it is a completely immoral act, which should not be. Criminal terrorism is gaining new ways of spreading, and at the international level, whole anti-terrorism armed conflicts are beginning. A nightmare strides around the world, and we cannot defeat it forever.
Goals
The worst thing is that terrorism is meaningful. This is one of the violent methods of achieving goals. Some forbidden groups blindly follow their religious teachings, calling for a war against all "infidels." Others, on the contrary, are trying to influence public policy, while someone simply wants to keep peaceful and innocent people in constant fear. Regardless of the goals, evil remains evil, and there will be no excuse for it.
Thousands of human lives sacrificed by insane fanatics never go unnoticed. The world is trying to fight, but it is impossible to win. That is human nature. Given that there is nothing static and absolutely any, even a criminal phenomenon, is gradually developing, there are too many forms of terrorism.
For many years only religious fanatics were considered terrorists, but everything develops in this world. So criminal terrorism appeared, which instantly became the most regular form of destructive influence of organized criminal groups with a normal world.
Forms of Terrorism
It is impossible to precisely designate all existing types of this phenomenon. However, you can safely call the most common. Most commonly found around the world:
- Religious terrorism . Most often, this is characteristic of aggressive branches of Islam. Despite the peacefulness of religion as such, there are many aggressive branches.
- Politically motivated terror . This is the second most popular species, but at the same time the most disgusting. The problem is that instigators always go unpunished. Wanting to influence the policies of the state or the whole world, some politicians do not hesitate to secretly finance gangs and organize acts of terror.
- Criminal terrorism . Everyone understands that you should not expect good from the bandits. Organized criminal groups organize acts of terror for various reasons. Sometimes in this way they get rid of competing gangs, and sometimes they intimidate civilians.
- Ethnic Terror . Fascism and nationalism have not disappeared. Proponents of the national idea only lurked, waiting for the moment. Propaganda of hatred of other ethnic groups has become the foundation for their criminal activity.
Child terrorism
Children are flowers of life. They actively absorb information and are quickly inspired by any ideas that have the right presentation. In other words, criminal elements take advantage of youthful maximalism and the characteristics of reverse psychology in order to force children to do “dirty” work. In addition, young men raise much less suspicion among law enforcement officials. Children are used for subversive activities in schools, institutes, at rallies, and even in families. Children often play an important role in the drug business as couriers. Various destructive religious sects lure adolescents into their ranks and in a short time inspire the need for self-sacrifice.
The power of crime
Many Russians, remembering the nineties and the beginning of the zero years, think of “brotherhoods”. Banditry was flourishing at that time, and criminal terrorism was rapidly developing. Criminal elements in those years controlled the streets of our cities. Various gangs regularly fought with each other and with the authorities. Today in Russia it has become much better. Open forms of organized banditry are absent. However, organized crime has not disappeared. And therefore it is impossible to say with certainty that we defeated her. This is not true. Criminal terror is widely used both in the fight against competitors and as a method of violent intimidation. There are several known forms of using such terror:
- Contract killings . Great care must be taken if a successful entrepreneur or a person with “zonovskie” tattoos lives in the next apartment. The killer may err on the door. Unfortunately, such willful killings are widespread throughout the world and are carefully disguised as suicides and accidents.
- "Graters" . This is nothing more than local armed conflicts both between factions and within one big one. Most often, there are two stages - peaceful and aggressive. Moreover, the second follows from the first. A conversation in a roadside cafe can have an unexpected climax in the form of a shootout.
This type of terrorist activity is in the process of merging with political terror. Various political forces often have influence on certain criminal groups and use them to achieve their goals. In addition, many authorities of the criminal world are in power circles.
Global Violence Policy
The merger of the two forms of terror is causing concern for many scientists around the world. The fact is that examples of criminal terrorism can be found at almost every step. Nothing can be done about the fact that banditry is an international phenomenon. Every day, thousands of criminal terror acts are perpetrated around the world. Not all of them manage to nip or even detect. If the merger of politics and criminality finally ends, there will be much more violence. It will quickly move from local acts to global ones, and then gain support and distribution around the world.
Black flags
Smart people do not just say that politics is a dirty business. The way it is. The most striking example of criminal terrorism is the Islamic State. Organization banned in Russia and other countries. The whole problem is that, according to the latest data, this gang is less likely to belong to religious fanatics. This is a well-equipped army that performs political tasks and is the most serious criminal gang. On the one hand, ordinary adherents believe in religious principles. However, the officers and senior management are subject to an unknown force, which, in turn, is political. Acts of terror are manifested not only in hostilities, but also in internal showdowns and in competition with other gangs. People under black flags are large consumers of narcotic substances and fuels and lubricants. The abundance of supplies suggests the idea that economic interests are still involved there. It turns out that the banned group combined criminal, religious, political and economic terrorism.
The situation in Russia
Although criminal terrorism in Russia is ongoing, it takes on a cyclical form. The heyday of such terror can be arbitrarily called a “flash”, drawing an analogy with the epidemic of the disease. Terror is a disease that manifests itself when there is an unstable situation in the country. Back in the postwar years, the Soviet Union needed the help of Marshal Zhukov and the Red Army in order to clear Odessa of criminal gangs with one blow. In difficult times for the country, bandits are always divided into gangs and divide zones of influence. They crush markets and entrepreneurship for themselves, literally imposing their services as a guard against other gangs. In jargon, it is commonly called the "roof."
With the collapse of the USSR, a wave of violence literally swept across the country, and it lasted for many years. There are so many examples of criminal terrorism in Russia in the nineties that it is easier to name places where it did not exist. Each city was controlled by criminals. There was nowhere to hide. The bandits openly went into power and regularly arranged a showdown right on the streets of Moscow. Only the most uncomfortable areas for the life of the city escaped this fate. The leaders of the groups robbed the country and quickly left its territory, leaving the thugs without leadership. Which not only did not solve the problem of criminal criminal terrorism, but, on the contrary, increased violence!
However, over time, everything has changed. Most of the gang authorities were killed, while others left the country. The order was put in place thanks to the reform of law enforcement agencies and improving the quality of their work. Today, the situation in Russia is favorable, and by terror people basically mean religious terrorism.
Everyday fear
Many criminal gangs are of the opinion that criminal terrorism is the best means of control. This is one of the most effective forms of daily bullying. Contrary to the name, it is rarely expressed in violence. Most often this is the spread of rumors of violence. The main goal of criminals is to instill fear in the territory they control. Occasionally, information noise is accompanied by robberies, theft and beatings, which only enhances the effect.
Walking the planet
Criminal groups are almost always apolitical. They are indifferent to the country. They live where it is more convenient for them to exist, and interact with their colleagues from other states.
International criminal terrorism is one of the areas of work of Interpol. However, enforcing law throughout the world is much more difficult than in one country. Bandits interact with each other and provide ongoing support. In view of the unity of methods and the similarity of the so-called concepts, criminal terror is flourishing globally.
