Terrorism/Extremism risk levels

A person who makes direct threats to undertake acts of terrorism including but not limited to using weapons, bombing, biological attack, kidnap and execution, against a high-profile person, location, or the general public.

A person who glorifies or promotes terrorist activity. One who encourages others to carry out acts of violence or intimidation against others in the pursuit of their political, ideological or religious aims. A person who encourages demonization of those outside their ideological sphere, often with the use of political or religious propaganda.
