Synopsis

For undergraduate-level courses in Political Violence, Terrorism, and Criminal Justice.

Unbiased in perspective, this text 1) examines the known facets of contemporary terrorism―explaining what terrorism is, who carries it out, how terrorist acts are committed, 2) analyzes the laws and special forces which nations within the international community have created to meet this challenge, and 3) predicts forthcoming patterns of terrorism in the new century. Post Cold War in focus and written specifically for undergraduate students, it helps them evaluate the dimensions of the problems presented by contemporary terrorism, and challenges them to develop solutions.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Professor Combs has a great deal of scholarly information and knowledge on the subject of terrorism. The text is timely, well thought out, and the author appears to possess a comfortable knowledge of state terrorism as well as terrorism from 'below.' The text has presented a well-documented and reasonable approach that will become a valuable resource and classroom text on the subject of terrorism." — James M. Poland, California State University, Sacramento

"Combs makes good use of examples, case studies, anecdotal information, and profiles of terrorists and organizations throughout her work. She helps students thoroughly understand substantive issues and theoretical materials. I have found that the students find the information and illustrations interesting and informative, especially as they relate to contemporary events. The work also reflects up-to-date scholarship . . . both the breadth and depth of research is impressive." — Robert A. Wood, North Dakota State University
