Dies ist die aktuellste Darstellung zum Themenkomplex Terroristen, ihre Psychologie und ihre Auswirkungen auf unsere Welt und unsere Lebensweise.

"Terrorists, Victims and Society" behandelt dieses brandaktuelle und hochbrisante Thema umfassend und sehr detailliert.

Das Buch wurde von führenden internationalen Spitzenexperten auf dem Gebiet der Psychologie des Terrorismus geschrieben.

Das renommierte Autorenteam setzt sich u.a. zusammen aus Psychologen und Psychiatern, die über umfangreiche Erfahrung durch den direkten Arbeitskontakt sowohl mit Terroristen verfügen, als auch mit ihren Opfern und mit den Verantwortlichen im Bereich der Terrorismusbekämpfung.

Der Band gliedert sich in drei Teile:
Teil 1 konzentriert sich auf Terroristen als Individuen und als Gruppe und vermittelt einen ausgewogenen und objektiven Einblick in die Psychologie von Terroristen.

Teil 2 analysiert welche Auswirkungen der Terrorismus hat, welche direkten und indirekten Konsequenzen er für die Opfer hat, wie Gesellschaften reagieren und wie Staats- und Regierungschefs mit der Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus und ihren Folgen umgehen.

Teil 3 geht vorrangig auf die Frage ein, wie man auf die terroristische Bedrohung reagieren sollte.

Back Jacket

Often disturbing, sometimes surprising and frequently disheartening, TERRORISTS, VICTIMS AND SOCIETY presents a clear and succinct view of what psychological research has revealed about terrorists and terrorism.

Andrew Silke has gathered together contributions from psychologists and psychiatrists who have direct experience of researching terrorism, have met with terrorists and victims of terrorist violence, and with those responsible for combating and responding to terrorism. The result is a volume that provides a clear, intelligent and well-informed account of what psychology has learned in the past thirty years about issues relating to terrorism. It also demonstrates how one branch of social science can provide a powerful tool for insight and guidance on one of the most challenging problems facing the modern world.

Essential reading for professionals in policing, security, government security agencies, forensic and legal psychology, prison and probation service and the military. It will also be important to all who are tasked with preparing for potential terrorist incidents, for example in mental health services, and a useful resource for students in psychology, criminology, politics and international relations.
