This volume examines how both victims and perpetrators of terrorism
are relevant to our understanding of political violence. While the
perpetrators of political violence have been the subject of
significant academic research, victims of terrorism and political
violence have rarely featured in this landscape. In an effort to
capture the vast complexity of terrorism, and to widen the scope of
the agenda that informs terrorism research, this book presents a
series of analyses that examines the role of the perpetrators, the
experience of the victims, the public and media perceptions of
both, and given the inherent intricacy of the phenomenon, how we
might think about engaging with perpetrators in an effort to
prevent further violence. By considering the role of the many
actors who are central to our understanding and framing of
terrorism and political violence, this book highlights the need to
focus on how the interactivity of individuals and contexts have
implications for the emergence, maintenance and termination of
campaigns of political violence. The volume aims to understand not
only how former perpetrators and victims can work in preventing
violence in a number of contexts but, more broadly, the narratives
that support and oppose violence, the construction of
victimisation, the politicisation of victimhood, the justifications
for violence and the potential for preventing and encouraging
desistance from violence. This book will be of much interest to
students of terrorism and political violence, victimology,
criminology, security studies and IR in general.
