The fourth edition of Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues refreshes the comprehensive content of previous editions. The new edition incorporates several important new discussions and revisions which enliven topical presentations, pedagogical versatility, and readability. New and updated information enriches the content of chapters and sections, and the inclusion of a completely new chapter assures that readers will find the fourth edition to be a fresh contribution to the literature on terrorism.
The following are examples of these updates:
· Timely discussions of recent events, such as the death of Osama bin Laden, are incorporated throughout.
· The introductory chapter has been reorganized and refocused to emphasize introductory concepts, historical perspectives, and case studies of criminal skill.
· A new chapter on homeland security, Ch. 14, evaluates this concept from European and United States perspectives.
· New sections and discussions include criminological explanations of terrorism, cyberterrorism, and the use of armed drone aircraft.
· New journal articles and recommended films are posted to the online study site.
· Recommended readings have been expanded.
· New and updated topics are discussed in Chapter Perspectives and Cases in Point.
As intended in previous editions, Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues, Fourth Edition is designed to be a primary textbook for university students enrolled in a single-semester course, as well as professional practitioners who require fundamental expertise in understanding terrorist violence. The fourth edition continues to present the unique distinguishing features of Understanding Terrorism. The new edition incorporates several special advantages: A “one-stop-shop” for a course textbook on this subject; student- and instructor-friendly pedagogical organization; visual attractiveness; provocative chapter perspectives; topical discussion boxes; online exercises; international case studies; and U.S. case studies.
