The Psychology of Counter-
Terrorism
Edited by Andrew Silke, University of East London,
UK
This edited book explores how
psychology can be used to
improve our understanding of
terrorism and counterterrorism.
This work firstly aims to provide
balanced and objective insight
into the psychology of terrorists;
what their motivations are,
what keeps them involved in
terrorist groups, and what
eventually forces most to end
their active involvement in
terrorism. Secondly, the
contributors focus on the challenging issue of how to
respond to terrorism.
This innovative book will be of great interest to students
of terrorism and counter-terrorism, security studies,
psychology and politics, as well as security professionals
and military colleges.

Walking Away from
Terrorism
Accounts of Disengagement from Radical
and Extremist Movements
John Horgan, Pennsylvania State University, USA
‘John Horgan’s meticulous
research breaks new ground.
His acute understanding of
the complex factors that can
lead to disillusion and
withdrawal from terrorism
makes this book an
indispensable source for
academics and the security
professionals.’ - Paul
Wilkinson, University of St
Andrews, UK
This accessible new book looks
at how and why individuals leave terrorist movements,
and considers the lessons and implications that emerge
from this process.
The book examines three major issues:
• what we currently know about de-radicalisation and
disengagement
• how discussions with terrorists about their experiences
of disengagement can show how exit routes come
about, and how they then fare as ‘ex-terrorists’ away
from the structures that protected them
• what the implications of these findings are for
law-enforcement officers, policy-makers and civil
society on a global scale.
Concluding with a series of thought-provoking yet
controversial suggestions for future efforts at controlling
terrorist behaviour, Walking Away From Terrorism
provides an comprehensive introduction to
disengagement and de-radicalisation and offers
policymakers a series of considerations for the
development of counter-radicalization and deradicalisation
processes.
