Terrorism in America

Terrorism in America examines the beliefs, actions, and impacts of American-based terrorists and terror organizations. It draws on theories from criminology, psychology, and sociology to explore the ideologies of right-wing, left-wing, and extremist religious groups—how and why they convert followers, recruit financially, and take extreme action against others. No other text offers such in-depth, nuanced coverage of the radical ideologies behind these attacks, or the ensuing fear domestic terrorism creates, as well as the strategies to combat violent extremism. Interviews, case studies, and chapter themes make this highly readable for criminal justice students, professors, or practitioners.
