How a Suicide Vest/Belt is Created
A suicide vest or belt is an improvised explosive device (IED) that is developed and utilized by suicide bombers to conduct terror attacks. This improvised explosive device contains explosives and a detonator that inflict damages during suicidal attacks. Suicide vests or belts have become common devices in the modern society because of their increased used by suicide bombers to carry out terrorism. The increase in terror attacks and emergence of terrorism as a global security concern has contributed to the increased development and use of suicide belts or vests. According to a report by the Terrorism Explosive Device Analytical Center (2015), suicide vests and belts are IEDs that are utilized by terrorists to carry out attacks in several parts of the globe including Africa, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. The increased use of these improvised explosive devices is also attributable to the fact that suicide bombers find it easy to make such devices and utilize them to carry out attacks that result in loss of lives and property. Even though there are some difficult aspects associated with assembling an improvised explosive device, suicide bombers find it relatively easy to construct a suicide vest or belt.
One of the major components of a suicide vest or belt is iron shrapnel and explosives that are filled in a duffel bag. In most cases, suicide bombers fill the duffel bag with 27...…and require minimal expertise. Secondly, suicide vests and belts are easy to construct because of the clandestine nature of the operations of suicide bombers and other terrorists. They carry out the construction processes in a clandestine manner that is not easily detected by law enforcement officers. Third, suicide bombers and other terrorists find it easy to access the various necessary components for assembling a suicide vest or belt. However, there are some relatively challenging components associated with constructing a suicide belt or vest. One of these difficulties or challenges is the fact that the explosives are not easily affordable. The purchase of some explosives for suicide belts or vests are relatively expensive though they are accessible or available in the…

Here, the dependent variable is identified as the proclivity toward suicide. The researchers identify four independent variables due for measurement. These are identified as psychological distress, hopelessness, drug abuse, and relationship discord. (Kaslow et al., p. 13) The study collected data using interviewing techniques that would occur within a 24 to 72 window of the subject's hospital admission. Findings would be measured in the categories of Psychological Risk Factor Variables
Suicide in Jails and Prisons Suicide Incidence of suicide in prisons According to the World Health Organization, suicide is the most common cause of death in jails and prisons. The rate of suicide in penitentiaries is also high. These correctional facilities also have a role to play in ensuring their inmates are healthy and safe. This is the reason why a plan for prevention of suicide in correctional facilities is essential. Characteristics available
Suicide Rates of suicide for adults between 35 and 64 years in the United States According to date from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC&P), suicide rates among adults aged between 35 and 64 years are on the rise. The period from 1999 -- 2010 saw an annual age-adjusted rate of suicide in this age bracket increase by slightly over 28%. The findings also show that the three leading methods
Suicide Prevention Consultation Design: CASE, Suicide Prevention Triangle, and Individual-Family-School-Work-Community Links for Effectiveness The objective of this study is to design a suicide prevention consultation. The student will describe the consultation model and level of intervention based on current research. Suicide is described as the "ultimate mental health crisis" and one that is all too common among children and youth. There are approaches designed based on proven scientific methods that best
Suicide Prevention An "immense need" exists for technical assistance and general consultation that is specific to community healthcare needs (Walker, Louton, Walker & Frizzel, 2006, p. 40). A suicide prevention consultation strategy should first identify risk factors specific to the community and target population. For example, job or financial loss might be identified as a core risk factor in the community. Then, individual risk factors can be identified and used in
It steals their youth and murders their laughter, if not robbing them of life itself. The crowd, openly smug but secretly sneaking home, wilfully refuse to acknowledge the pain and senselessness, because this would be to acknowledge their own part in creating the war. The poem as a whole both juxtaposes and compares general society with the suffering of the soldiers. Society as a whole ignores the suffering of war,
