    TYPES OF TERRORISM: Advancements in Defining Terrorism
    According to Schmalleger (2014) "Kidnapping, Assassination, and Disruptive" activities upon the peaceful goings of daily life in a society is considered terrorism which works in collaboration with the other major types of terrorism as listed here below: 
    • STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM - Upon or utilizing government officials (i.e., attacking cops or politicians, etc.)
    • RETRIBUTIVE TERRORISM - Seeking revenge for some wrong doing felt is owed to a group or cause (i.e., eating or sending cows, chickens, and other animals to the butcher to sell for food at grocery stores, etc.)
    • NATIONALIST TERRORISM - Seeking to represent parties and groups in conquering laws
    • POLITICAL TERRORISM - Crimes against the government (Spreading blasphemy to influence citizens, etc.)
    • REVOLUTIONARY TERRORISM - Trying to alter and reinvent a government, supporting negative social change
    The United States governments takes every step necessary to investigate and prevent any potential risks or threats of security breaches to the country, and here is one example according to Schmalleger (2011)
    "The Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) (Links to an external site.) of 2002,18 (Links to an external site.) which is part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, directed the U.S. Sentencing Commission to take several factors into account in creating new sentencing guidelines for computer criminals. The law told the commission to consider not only what financial loss was caused by computer crime, but also what level of planning was involved in the offense, whether the crime was committed for commercial or private advantage, and whether malicious intent existed on the part of the perpetrator"  which is one example of the measures utilized to enhance monitoring of potential dangers to conveniences made available for citizens and residents without having to reside in constant fear or confusion as to public or national safety and security.

I agree Professor that although the idea of reentry is a great one, depending on the level of monitoring required for prisoners released back into society the vast options aren't necessarily considered as an actual downfall or 'relapse' for those who are in need of positive and frequent reinforcement. Just house arrest with complete freedom doesn't protect the offender from offending and re-entering the prison system shortly thereafter before completing the initial community-centered program first. This potentially vicious cycle leads to prison overcrowding and other major issues for the overall correctional administration.  Image: "Bureau of Prisons: Reentry Programs and Release for Meaningful Wo...
