Terrorism and torture are twin evils that have dominated news headlines - particularly
since the horrifying events of 9/11. In this thought-provoking volume, scholars from
a diverse range of disciplines examine the complex motivational and situational factors
contributing to terrorist acts and state-sponsored torture, and the potential linkage
between those two heinous human behaviors. They also consider the strategies that might
reduce the threat of future terrorist acts, and the perceived necessity to engage in
morally reprehensible - and often illegal - torture practices. With its integrated
synthesis of contemporary theories and research on the complex dynamics of the terrorism-
torture link, this is an authoritative source for scholars and students of psychology,
criminal justice, law, media, communication studies, and political science. It will also
appeal to students of other disciplines with an interest in the study of terrorism and
torture.
