terrorising
Terrorising refers to the act of causing extreme fear or dread, often through systematic intimidation or violence. It is a tactic employed by individuals or groups to exert control or achieve specific objectives by instilling terror in a target population or individuals. This can manifest in various forms, including threats, physical harm, psychological manipulation, or the destruction of property. The intent behind terrorising is to create a climate of pervasive fear that can influence behaviour and decision-making.
The impact of terrorising can be profound, leading to psychological distress, anxiety, and a sense of helplessness
