Terrorism: Perspectives from the Social Sciences uses a research-based approach to analyze terrorism and terrorist groups and to develop policy making guidelines. Real-world case studies and a dedicated art program are used to engage readers and demonstrate the severe, wide-ranging, and multifaceted impacts of terrorism and terrorists' actions. The inclusion of the empirical literature and emphasis on the application of social science theory makes the text useful to students and academics in the disciplines of criminology/criminal justice, political science, sociology, and interdisciplinary terrorism studies.

Murat Haner is Assistant Professor in the School Criminology & Criminal Justice at Arizona State University. Melissa M. Sloan is Professor of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences at the University of South Florida.
