Abstract: This paper examines the effectiveness of technology in curbing terrorism. It highlights the trends in terrorism from 1998 to 2019 in order to understand this more. The study argues that counter-terrorism efforts are partly focused on combating terrorism using developments in technology. It highlights success stories in responding to terrorism from Kenya, the U.S and New Zealand.
Terrorists are increasingly adapting to new technologies therefore increasing the impact and the scope of their attacks. To curb these attacks, counterterrorism measures have therefore had to incorporate new technologies. Security forces have experienced challenges in adapting to new technologies to prevent future attacks. Nonetheless, when these technologies have been adapted, they have proven effective.
