Chapters focus on topics such as defining terrorism, examining the identity, strategy and values of terrorism as a political world, the economic determinants of terrorism, modeling terrorist attacks, using the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) to measure the impact of terrorist attacks, using economic analysis to examine lone wolf terrorism, examining the phenomenon of homegrown terrorism, analysing cyberterrorism, examining the link between terrorism, organised crime and what the authors term new wars, and examining the effectiveness of the components of security measures against terrorism. Raul Caruso is a professor at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, and Andrea Locatelli is a professor at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, both in Milan, Italy. Dr. Joshua Sinai, Book Reviews Editor of 'Perspectives on Terrorism'.
