This book examines common theoretical conceptualization of terrorism, including all the following dimensions:
Macro-criminological theories
Psycho-criminological models of aggression
Psycho-criminological models of risk and need (RNR)
Psychopathology
Social psychology, particularly in the areas of intergroup relations, identity, need for closure, and, the quest for significance
Ideological and religious passions and extremism
International in scope, each chapter draws on a combination of these frameworks, exemplified in a collection of case series and studies, to help students, practitioners, and researchers better understand these phenomena.
