Terrorism and Counterterrorism Strategies

Terrorism involves using violence or threats to instill fear and achieve political or ideological goals. Counterterrorism encompasses efforts by governments and organizations to prevent, respond to, and reduce terrorist threats through intelligence gathering, security measures, law enforcement, and community engagement. These strategies aim to detect plots early, dismantle terrorist networks, protect civilians, and address underlying issues that may lead to radicalization, ensuring safety while respecting rights and freedoms.
