Abstract

This paper presents a series of forensic, criminological, and legal analyses of the conduct of members of terrorist organizations. My first research area concerns the contemporary terrorist threats facing the international community and legislators in individual countries. An examination of the structure of terrorist organizations from the forensic and criminological point of view shows that they make up an integrated system, with a single directing entity and numerous executive cells. I also consider the emergence of a new category of offenders, foreign terrorist fighters. My second area of research is the growing scope of criminalization in outcome of the work of international organizations and its implementation in Polish law. In the last part of my study I compare the current patterns of behaviour of members of terrorist organizations with the regulations of criminal law now in force. Finally, I present my conclusions and suggestions relating to the diverse types of terrorist offences and their place in the structure of the special part of the Polish Penal Code.

Keywords:
