Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - General, Basics, University of Ibadan (Faculty of the Social Sciences), course: Geography, language: English, abstract: Terrorism has become the norm in the world today such that hardly would a day pass without news of murder or assassination, homicide, genocide, kidnapping, hostage-taking, hijacking, skyjacking, bombing and attack across the world.

For example, between year 2000 and 2016, there are about 150,000 terrorist incidents that have taken place for about 163 countries. Although terrorism is undoubtedly a major concern for safety and security, there are other forms of violence which result into more deaths globally. For example, the global homicide rate is 13 times the global terrorism rate, with 437,000 people dying from homicides compared to 150,000 from terrorism. The report further stated that "Venezuela has the highest rate of homicide in the world at 111 per 100,000 for the decade starting from 2000". Terrorists are evolving and they have acquired new methods which include suicide bombing and hostage taking/kidnapping. Suicide bombing is a new form deployed by the terrorists to achieve their political aims. The main attacks in Yemen are suicide bombings and the highest attacks in Libya are hostage-takings. Globally, there are estimated 15,000-20,500 kidnaps that take place each year. This shows that whilst terrorism is very deadly in many places of the world,
