Creating Young Martyrs: Conditions That Make Dying in a Terrorist Attack Seem Like a Good Idea de Alice LoCicero

Creating Young Martyrs: Conditions That Make Dying in a Terrorist Attack Seem Like a Good Idea: Contemporary Psychology

Autor Alice LoCicero, Samuel J. Sinclair
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 aug 2008 – vârsta până la 17 ani
The authors explain how and why we must understand the conditions that spur youths to become martyrs by making them think suicide bombings and other acts of self-destructive terrorism are a good way to die. LoCicero and Sinclair present cutting-edge research and theory about the political, social, and living conditions that raise the risk of children deciding to join organizations that use terrorist tactics, and, having joined, to volunteer for missions in which they intentionally die while causing death and destruction, in order to make an impact. Equally important, LoCicero and Sinclair offer concrete suggestions about how ordinary Americans can help reduce and prevent terrorism around the globe.
