The War On Terror, How The Strategies Used By The United States Against Islamic Extremism Have Been Ineffective, Hein Paing
Student Works
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the ineffective strategies used by the United States and coalition forces in the fight against Islamic extremist terrorism. The continuation of terrorist groups acting in the name of Islam begs the question as to just how well have these strategies worked, and what further measures must be taken in order to quell the existence of these organizations?

The Evolution Of Internet Legal Regulation In Addressing Crime And Terrorism, Murdoch Watney
The Evolution Of Internet Legal Regulation In Addressing Crime And Terrorism, Murdoch Watney

Internet regulation has evolved from self-regulation to the criminalization of conduct to state control of information available, accessed and submitted. Criticism has been leveled at the different forms of state control and the methods employed to enforce state control.
