Week 1 Project - Domestic Terrorist Group

Week 1 Project: Domestic Terrorist Group

Select one of the following four domestic terrorist groups: KKK, Black Panthers, Weathermen, and Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional. Analyze the group based on your readings this week. If necessary, conduct research to analyze the group. You can use the South University Online Library databases to conduct your research.

After analyzing the group, answer the following questions:

• Who organized the group?
• What is the group’s purpose or objective?
• What methods of attacks has the group conducted?
• Who or what was the group’s target? Explain using examples.
• Which are the two key attacks the group conducted?
• Does the group still exist? Why or why not?
• If the group no longer exists, how was it defeated by criminal justice officials? If the group still exists, what measures should criminal justice officials be taking to defeat the group?
