But responses are much more complicated when there is no central organization, no identifiable leader or only an ill-defined group of individuals with varying connections and commitments undergoing constant change.
Data from the GTD shows that no terrorist group can be assigned responsibility in nearly 60 percent of the thousands of attacks that occurred worldwide since Attacks may be launched by loners who are working more or less independently of any specific group. In other cases, more than one group may claim the attack. Or a group may claim responsibility when in reality it had no connection to the attack, or a group may claim incorrectly that another group was accountable.
Analysts may simply never have enough information to reach a conclusion or to distinguish between competing accounts.
Following a terrorist attack, governments are under enormous pressure to identify the guilty party and offer a swift response. But how can officials punish wrongdoers and deter others from engaging in terrorist attacks when they never know for sure who the culprit is?
Finally, while researchers are making great progress in developing a framework for the scientific study of terrorism, the study of counter terrorism is still in its infancy. While it is difficult to get an accurate grasp of terrorist threats, it is even harder to evaluate the strategies used by governments to counter terrorism.

Where people holding extremist views appear to be moving towards terrorism, they clearly become relevant to Channel multiagency boards. Otherwise, they do not. They are likely to have been identified as holding extreme yet legitimate ideas, but have been assessed as being at risk of moving from that position into one of criminality.
It is always good safeguarding practice to involve the vulnerable person in any support activity and offer them as much choice as possible in the process. Channel follows this same idea.
Channel programmes are prioritised around areas and places of higher risk, defined as those where terrorist groups and their sympathisers have been most active. However, Channel interventions can take place anywhere, regardless of whether or not that place has been designated as a priority area. Channel is completely confidential and open. The person at risk is approached and can decline to take part in any intervention.
UK - Channel guidance external website. The council has created a programme of awareness-raising and training for all its staff, especially those who may come into contact with vulnerable groups, to make sure that they are aware of what to look for and how to support individuals. This includes training to identify potential radicalisation and extremist behaviour and how to then refer this, if necessary, through the support and safeguarding process, known as Channel.
The council is working with the Police, health services, schools and colleges, prison and probation services and local voluntary and community organisations, as appropriate, to coordinate this work and help reduce the risk of extremism and radicalisation in the East Riding. This multi-agency way of working is supported by detailed action plans that aim to reduce the risk in this area of extremist action and stopping vulnerable residents from being drawn into radical behaviour.
