HSL 2301 DISUSION BOARD QUESTION UNIT IV
In this unit, we have discussed the terms anti-terrorism and counterterrorism efforts. In your opinion, what are the differences and similarities between these terms? Consider a defensive action taken under each term to reduce terrorism vulnerabilities within the borders of the United States.
Please choose a different analysis on the terms of anti-terrorism and counterterrorism efforts than your peers. In your peer reply, be sure to examine the different thoughts and viewpoints that your fellow peers have expressed about their chosen counterterrorism strategy. Do you agree with the strategy outlined in their response? Why, or why not?
I have to comment on my classmate’s discussion board question this is what they wrote:
Anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism
From the face of it, the two words seem similar. However, there are important differences in the two. The main difference is that anti-terrorism is being reactive and defensive while counter terrorism is proactive and offensive measures, that is, steps that involves fighting terrorism. An example to illustrate the two, anti-terrorism involves legislations that aim at developing laws for prosecuting terrorists. On the other hand, counter terrorisms are operations that are undertaken to preempt a terrorist attack in the future. In other words, counterterrorism includes military tactics, law enforcement strategies, intelligence agencies and other government techniques to fight or prevent terrorism
