About the issue
Although the academic study of terrorism has undergone exponential growth since the turn of the twentieth century, the bulk of this research has been performed in the fields of political science, psychology, and sociology. To be sure, these disciplines have produced a wealth of invaluable knowledge related to terrorism and political violence. That said, it would benefit the study of terrorism on the whole to produce and disseminate valuable research on terrorism in other disciplines (and their associated journals) as well.
In this vein, the aim of this issue is to feature original, innovative, and most importantly, scientifically rigorous research that forms a multi-disciplinary collection of discussions on various contemporary topics within the study of terrorism. Ultimately, this issue should provide both students and seasoned criminology researchers with a view into (a) the kinds of topics that terrorism researchers address, and (b) the methods they use to address them. Papers may be theoretical and/or empirical in kind, and all submissions will be considered. However, owing to their contemporary importance, particular areas of interest include:
- Discussions/explications of key concepts in terrorism research
- Lone-actor terrorism
- Cyber-terrorism
- Suicide terrorism
- CBRN terrorism
- The role of terrorism in Syria and Iraq
- Case analyses of specific, prominent terrorist organizations
