Abstract

This article provides a general framework for understanding how the Situational Crime Prevention approach, a crime prevention model, and related literature contribute to terrorism prevention practices. In the literature on combating terrorism, studies examining terrorism from a criminological perspective are very rare. Terrorism is ultimately a form of crime. It is known that situational opportunity elements are effective in terrorist crimes, such as theft, murder, and other similar types of crimes. The article primarily covers the theoretical and conceptual framework that constitutes Situational Crime Prevention. In the next stage, it is examined how the opportunity factor is effective when it comes to terrorism. Then, recommended prevention policies to eliminate these opportunity elements are presented. Finally, criticisms of situational prevention of terrorism are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.

Özet

Bu makale, bir suç önleme modeli olan Durumsal Suç Önleme yaklaşımının ve buna bağlı literatürün terörizmi önleme uygulamalarına nasıl katkı sağladığını anlamak için genel bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Terörizmle mücadele literatürde terörizmin kriminolojik bakış açısıyla ele alındığı çalışmalara oldukça az rastlanmaktadır. Terör nihai olarak bir suç biçimidir. Hırsızlık, cinayet ve benzeri diğer suç türlerinde olduğu gibi terör suçu için de durumsal fırsat unsurlarının etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Makalede öncelikle Durumsal Suç Önlemeyi oluşturan teorik ve kavramsal çerçeveye yer verilmektedir. Bir sonraki aşamada fırsat faktörünün terörizm söz konusu olduğunda ne şekilde etkili olduğu incelenmektedir. Daha sonra bu fırsat unsurlarını ortadan kaldırmak için önerilen önleme politikaları aktarılmaktadır. Son olarak ise terörizmin durumsal önlemesine yönelik getirilen eleştiriler ele alınmakta ve gelecek araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.
