TERRORIST ATTACKS IN EUROPE AND PREVENTION POSSIBILITIES OF TERRORISM
Abstract
The terrorism can be considered as the political or security problem, but it is also the kind of crime, although it is very specific crime. However, considering it as the crime, we can also think about it in the connection with criminological categories as the prevention, for example. When we look at latest terrorist attacks, we can name their several common features. For example, tools, which were used for commitment of these crime, were very simple, because perpetrators attacked by firearms, stabbing weapons or vehicles. That means that perpetrators cannot have more sophisticated skills to commit terrorist attacks by these tools. This article is also focused on some other features like places, where terrorist attacks were committed, the age of perpetrators or their religion, because all of them were Muslims. All of these features are opposed to the views of some experts, who predict that the cyber terrorism or nuclear terrorism will become serious threats in the future. Therefore, the paper contains the short analysis of latest terrorist attacks, which were committed in Europe, analysis of the information, which are available in the media, and comparison of selective features of terrorist attacks. Taking into account the newest trends of the commitment of terrorist attacks, the method of analyze and method of comparison are used with the aim to express the need of terrorism prevention and formulate possible proposals of measures that could contribute to the terrorism prevention.
