Terrorist acts occur because the perpetrators feel powerless to convey their aspirations through customary and formally legitimate means. Terrorism is assumed to be related to factors of poverty, social, economic, and political injustice, and international terrorist networks. The mass media plays a role in socializing terrorist actions through news reports that have an impact on the emergence of strong public fear. Ineffective public management in anticipating public aspirations and needs gives birth to groups who feel marginalized, which are then exploited by terrorists to develop their organizations.
