Abstract

Nowadays the word terrorism is often heard and becomes popular in many societies. It is connected with a militant group in human population. Terrorism is “the use of force or threat to weaken morals, intimidate and conquer”. In broad terms, this is considered as the use of deliberate discriminatory violence as a means of creating fear among people to achieve financial, political, religious or ideological goals. In the case of ideological goals, spreading the ideology is considered among the main course that should be done to achieve those goals. Mathematically, spreading ideology can be viewed analogously as a process of infection or disease transmission in epidemiology. In this paper we review a current model of this ideology transmission from a person to another. We define the critical level of intervention that should be done derived from the basic reproduction number of the transmission process. Some numerical examples are presented and reveal some insight on how to control the number of the militans based on plausible assumptions.
