Synopsis

This book examines common theoretical conceptualization of terrorism, including all the following dimensions:

• Macro-criminological theories
• Psycho-criminological models of aggression
• Psycho-criminological models of risk and need (RNR)
• Psychopathology
• Social psychology, particularly in the areas of intergroup relations, identity, need for closure, and, the quest for significance
• Ideological and religious passions and extremism

International in scope, each chapter draws on a combination of these frameworks, exemplified in a collection of case series and studies, to help students, practitioners, and researchers better understand these phenomena.
