• Sommario/riassunto: The 'Handbook of Understanding Terrorism,' edited by Martine Herzog-Evans and Stephen J. Morewitz, explores the multifaceted nature of terrorism and violent extremism. It incorporates insights from criminology, social psychology, clinical psychology, sociology, political science, and threat management, collectively termed 'forensic social sciences.' The book features case studies and case series that vary geographically and in the types of terrorism addressed, providing a comprehensive analysis of criminal behavior associated with terrorism. Recent research developments highlight the criminogenic needs of terrorists and the cognitive, attitudinal, and psychological dimensions of extremism. The book aims to contribute to effective treatment and prevention strategies by examining these complex dynamics. It is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students in related fields.
