- Abstract
The complexity of the issue we are facing, in the attempt to clarify the reasons why a human being would decide to commit a destructive act of such an immense scale, points to the influence of several aspects, part of which shall be elaborated in more detail herein further. This paper focuses on suicide terrorist attacks, as the most extreme form of terrorism, through the prism of the social and educational component of society. Nevertheless, these are not the sole principles based on which recruiting of perpetrators of suicide attacks is carried out, but only parts of the mosaic that are craftily used by terrorist organizations. The aim of this approach is to understand the influence of terrorist organizations and their manipulation with man's existential needs. Therefore, the need for active participation of government mechanisms is strongly emphasized, in direction of minimizing the social circumstances and providing fertile ground for demonstration of extremist ideologies. To the contrary, the vacuum created as a result of weak efficiency of a social regime leads to misuse and imposing of influence of terrorist organizations and their ideologies. This situation enables the recruitment of perpetrators of suicide attacks, and at the same time presents the terrorist cause and the goals for which the self-sacrifice is committed. The authors of this paper conclude in the closing remarks that the combat against suicide terrorist attacks includes several measures. They cannot be analyzed only through the prism of repressive measures (punishment) issued by the institutions of the system or the military analogy, but they also require undertaking of activities from preventive perspective in the direction of annulment of the conditions and circumstances that lead to these forms of terrorism. The following scientific and research methods have been applied in this paper: the descriptive method, deduction and induction method, analysis and synthesis method, statistical method and content analysis.
