Abstract

In recent years terrorism has become a key global concern. The concern first became real for Australians on October 12 2002 when 202 lives were taken in the Bali Bombings. Piecing together the limited research on the Bali Bombers this report aims to examine the factors that lead individuals to participate in terrorist activities. This report examines terrorism from a socio-cultural, individual and group perspective. It arises at the conclusion that there is no particular terrorist profile, but rather that individuals become terrorists as a result of socio-cultural factors and group pressures.
