Jihadist Terror

The past 18 months have seen a radical increase in incidents of jihadist terrorism within the United Kingdom - from the Manchester Arena attack to the Houses of Parliament to London Bridge. As a result there are renewed calls for a high-level national conversation about the causes of and the responses to this particular terrorist problem. <br/>This book identifies policy and research gaps from an evidence-based perspective - it analyses what we know what we don't know and what we need to know in relation to understanding and countering the jihadist terrorist threat. It provides readers with a synthesis of the knowledge and evidence that exists on each of the key topic areas representing a distinctive and valuable resource for policymakers academics and students. The contributors to the volume are leading international and national experts from both the scholarly and policy-making communities who are ideally placed to comment on the question of jihadist terrorism and the future of the threat in the UK.
