Abstract

This lecture will introduce the audience to the psychology of terrorism. The lecture will chart how in order to understand individual and group involvement in all aspects of terrorism that we need to examine the process of trust, and how this impacts on decision making processes. The lecture will chart this by considering empirical research relating to each stage of terrorist involvement, from initial engagement right up to disengagement from the terrorist group. Throughout it will highlight how this is relevant for academics and practitioners alike.
