A must-read for psychologists—clinical and academic alike—as
well as for political scientists, policy analysts, and others
working in the realm of terrorism, political violence, and
extremism, this book carefully explores the theories, observations,
and approaches of authorities in the field and addresses how and
why terrorism has perpetuated for so long. Terrorism is now a
regular topic in the news rather than a rare or an unusual
occurrence. The possibility of violent terrorist acts constitutes a
legitimate safety concern, regardless of one's country of
residence: no longer can anyone assume that their location is
beyond the reach or outside the targeted areas of any number of
terrorist groups. Terrorism, Political Violence, and Extremism: New
Psychology to Understand, Face, and Defuse the Threat examines why
the number of terrorist attacks has greatly increased since the
attacks on September 11, 2001 occurred, including well-known events
such as the Madrid train bombings (2004), the London Underground
bombings of 2005, the San Bernardino and Paris attacks (2015), and
countless others, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.
Beyond providing a careful and up-to-date assessment of the state
of terrorism worldwide, which includes coverage of the religious
and political origins of terrorist activities, the book pinpoints
less-recognized and rarely studied aspects of terrorism, such as
terrorism hysteria, sexuality, shame, and rape. The diverse
perspectives within this unified volume are relevant to a breadth
of subject areas, such as international psychology, military
psychology, political science, political theory, religious studies,
military theory, peace studies, military sciences, law enforcement,
public health, sociology, anthropology, social work, law, and
feminist theory.
