| Summary |
All the world knows what happened on September 11, 2001. And the Paris attacks of 2015 are just the latest in a string of terrorist attacks today. Bombings, hijackings, and mass shootings produce widespread fear and gain worldwide attention. Psychology students will gain insight into what motivates the terrorists behind these acts. Modern threats from cyberterrorism are also included in this title, which features psychological profiles, motivation, and often the ultimate capture of the terrorists. Readers will learn how killers are diagnosed and classified, and whether it is possible to treat or cure them. --Amazon |
