agree  Evert DELOOF-SYS: sure, but -no offense meant- why does Marciax, engaged in 'allround translation & subtitling Dutch-English', ask such easy questions - plenty of online dictionaries around, no?

Criminals / terrorists


Explanation:
I think this one depends on the context. It could be:

criminals, and victims of terrorist actions / terrorism

or

terrorists and victims of terrorism

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Terrorists and victims of terrorism is ok.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks you
neutral  Chris Hopley: 'Criminals' doesn't work coz we need an agent noun here, not one that is merely descriptive of character. 'Terrorists and victims of terror(ism)' works well, though.
8 hrs
  -> Yeah you're right! I prefer the terrorist solution too, but it's probably too specific. Thanks anyway!

disagree  Tina Vonhof (X): Too mild a term for the context.
4 hrs
neutral  Chris Hopley: 'Offender" is used like 'overtreder', which means you can't speak of the 'offender of an attack' ('overtreder van een aanslag'!?!), but you can speak of the 'perpetrator of an attack' ('dader van een aanslag').
