Group Project and Panel Discussion

Group Project

The group project involves an analysis of an active terrorist group. Using the Country Reports on Terrorism and Patterns of Global Terrorism, United States Department of State, 2006, your group should choose a designated terrorist group for analysis. There are two parts to the final project. First, your group must prepare a comprehensive written analysis of the group. At a minimum, this 8-10 page report should address the group history, structure, organization, current activities and major goals of the group. Additionally, the report should consider counterterrorism policies, strategies or tactics that are being or should be employed against the group; and, focus on criminal justice responses to the group. In addition to the written report, your group should prepare a 30 minute panel discussion on the group you choose.
