This accessible new book looks at how and why individuals leave
terrorist movements, and considers the lessons and implications
that emerge from this process. Focusing on the tipping points for
disengagement from groups such as Al Qaeda, the IRA and the UVF,
this volume is informed by the dramatic and sometimes extraordinary
accounts that the terrorists themselves offered to the author about
why they left terrorism behind. The book examines three major
issues: what we currently know about de-radicalisation and
disengagement how discussions with terrorists about their
experiences of disengagement can show how exit routes come about,
and how they then fare as 'ex-terrorists' away from the structures
that protected them what the implications of these findings are for
law-enforcement officers, policy-makers and civil society on a
global scale. Concluding with a series of thought-provoking yet
controversial suggestions for future efforts at controlling
terrorist behaviour, Walking Away From Terrorism provides an
comprehensive introduction to disengagement and de-radicalisation
and offers policymakers a series of considerations for the
development of counter-radicalization and de-radicalisation
processes. This book will be essential reading for students of
terrorism and political violence, war and conflict studies,
security studies and political psychology. John Horgan is Director
of the International Center for the Study of Terrorism at the
Pennsylvania State University. He is one of the world's leading
experts on terrorist psychology, and has authored over 50
publications in this field; recent books include the The Psychology
of Terrorism (Routledge 2005) and Leaving Terrorism Behind
(co-edited, Routledge 2008)
