The Faces of Terrorism: Multidisciplinary Perspectives

An international, multi-disciplinary team explores the many different facets of terrorism, investigating what it means to be a terrorist and what terrorism means for society. This title gets closer to the perspectives of terrorists - their views, how their acts are conceptualized by the public and by national leaders, and how this knowledge can be put to use. It brings together international experts from psychology, psychiatry, law and policing under the guidance of one of the world’s foremost forensic psychology experts in David Canter. Public interest in terrorism has increased massively in the wake of 9/11, while academic interest has led to the development of new MSc programmes in terrorism studies.
