When non-governmental actors engage in acts of violence targeting noncombatants or private property, they are called terrorists. Criminals may engage in acts of violence, but their actions may not specifically target noncombatants or private property. Warriors are typically associated with armed conflict, which may involve state-sponsored actors or combatants. Civilian-soldiers is not a commonly used term.
