At first glance, the criminal offense of terrorism appears to be a phenomenon of modern society, where, with the advancement of technology and the development of society in all its segments, as well as with different social systems, processes emerge that threaten the basic values of society. Traditional forms of threats are being replaced by new, modern, and more sophisticated attempts to undermine these values, creating space and opportunities for the emergence of new forms of threats, such as terrorism. The main idea of this paper is to present the genesis and characteristics of the criminal offense of terrorism in all its segments, from its origin and development to the monitoring of terrorism trends in line with technological advancements, as well as the development of the architecture of terrorism and aspects of the fight against it. Today's terrorism differs drastically from the forms of terrorism at the end of the twentieth century. Changes in the ways terrorist acts are carried out and in security risks follow the development of technology, as well as the methods of counteraction implemented by security forces.
