Abstract

Terrorism has contributed significantly to the unstable and unavoidable conflict and threat to security to many countries in the twenty-first century globally. In this qualitative case study, the author explores the causes and devastating effects of terrorism on the continent of Africa. The study used purposive sampling method to select and interview eight executive police officers from the Kofi Annan International Peace Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS). The researcher also assessed issues of policing in Africa relating to terrorism using archival records kept at criminal investigations departments, empirical studies, and other records on the menace published by renowned experts. The study reveals that socialization and radicalism through some interventions are the major causes of terrorism in Africa. The study recommends that international bodies led by the United Nations should support the policing efforts to curb the menace of terrorism in Africa.
管理非洲的恐怖主义
恐怖主义对21世纪全球许多国家的不稳定和不可避免的冲突和对安全的威胁作出了重大贡献。在这个定性的案例研究中,作者探讨了恐怖主义在非洲大陆的原因和破坏性影响。本研究采用有目的的抽样方法,从科菲·安南国际和平培训中心(KAIPTC)和加纳警察局(GPS)的刑事调查部(CID)中选择并采访了8名执行警官。该研究人员还利用刑事调查部门保存的档案记录、实证研究以及知名专家发表的有关恐怖主义威胁的其他记录,评估了非洲与恐怖主义有关的警务问题。研究表明,社会化和激进主义通过一些干预措施是非洲恐怖主义的主要原因。该研究建议,由联合国领导的国际机构应该支持在非洲遏制恐怖主义威胁的警务工作。
