The White House Capitol Attack

Part I: Topic

The topic I have chosen is the domestic terrorist attack on the White House Capitol on January 6, 2021

Part II: Justification

The topic of choice is how to end domestic terrorism based on politics. Due to the attack on Capitol, it became clear that politics can lead to fatal terrorist incidents. I have chosen this topic because the attack on the Capitol led to the loss of lives and many injured individual (Dalsheim & Starrett, 2021). Additionally, the FBI termed the attack as pure domestic terrorism. I also chose this topic to assist in ending the violence based on politics. Once a country becomes accustomed to terrorism based on politics it's hard to end that type of culture. The FBI made some promising responses to the Capitol terrorist attacks by applying digital billboards to help with finding individuals that had not yet been identified. They received more than 200,000 tips, opened more than 500 investigations, and made 70 arrests tied to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These are some ways of showing how to end terrorist incidents based on politics (Weine and Eisenman, 2021)

The topic is imperative to the sector of homeland security as it will act as a source of reference for important information. It will also provide the general public with data on how to reduce domestic terrorism based on politics. This will reduce acts of terrorism from the public and in turn ease the work of the department of homeland security (Byman, 2017). The topic meets the above criteria.
