<p>While political violence is an age-old phenomenon, the events of 9/11 transformed the meaning of terrorism in the eyes of the West. Always difficult to define, “terrorism” has traditionally been distinguished from other forms of criminal violence due to its motivations and inherent complexities.</p> <p><i>The </i><i>Handbook of the Criminology of Terrorism</i> presents a comprehensive overview of the latest criminological research relating to the origins, evolution, causes, and motivations of terrorism—along with the responses to domestic and international terrorist attacks from a criminological perspective. </p> <p>Featuring a collection of original contributions from leading researchers and renowned international experts in the field, essays cover the major themes and controversies related to the causes and consequences of terrorism; terrorism’s origins, terrorism and the criminal justice system, and ways to counter terrorism. Chapters discuss key concepts, reviewing the major conceptual frameworks and the latest empirical findings. <i>The Handbook</i> reveals areas of widespread agreement in the field, debates and controversies, unresolved issues, and suggestions for further research.</p> <p><i>The </i><i>Handbook of the Criminology of Terrorism </i>is an invaluable reference for criminologists, providing illuminating insights into terrorism in the 21st-century.</p>
