Over the last fifteen years there has been a significant growth in
literature dealing with terrorism. Nevertheless, scholars within
mainstream criminology have only recently begun to grapple with the
problem of terrorism in a sustained fashion. In this provocative
book the authors provide both an exposition of the contradictions
that have emerged around the regulation of terrorism and an
incisive analysis of the questions that the management of terrorism
poses for the discipline. Focusing primarily on the processes and
practices that have emerged in the United States and the United
Kingdom, the book provides a critical account of the political
construction, mediation and regulation of terrorist threat since
the events of 9/11. The authors explore the ways in which new
institutional modes of risk assessment based on the principle of
pre-emption have impacted on individuals targeted by them. Noting
the dilemmas produced by the pre-emptive turn, the authors also
elucidate more recent moves to develop the idea of resilience in
counter-terrorism and security policy. This book will be suitable
for academics and students interested in political violence,
terrorism, geopolitics and risk, as well as for practitioners and
experts working in the security industries.
