Governments use counterterrorism to fight back against violence that threatens civilians. Counterterrorism ranges from military campaigns to policing websites for hate speech.
The term counterterrorism adds counter-, or “against,” to terrorism, which derives from a Latin root meaning “to tremble.” Protecting civilians from violence, or fighting back against groups that have committed terrorist acts, is what counterterrorism aims to do. Police and military forces often have units dedicated to this, and governments enact counterterrorism measures that include airport security, tightening control of finances, and streamlining communication between different countries.
