Download or read book Small Arms written by Mia Bloom and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do terrorist organizations use children to support their cause and carry out their activities? Small Arms uncovers the brutal truth behind the mobilization of children by terrorist groups. Mia Bloom and John Horgan show us the grim underbelly of society that allows and even encourages the use of children to conduct terrorist activities. They provide readers with the who, what, when, why, and how of this increasingly concerning situation, illuminating a phenomenon that to most of us seems abhorrent. And yet, they argue, for terrorist groups the use of children carries many benefits. Children possess skills that adults lack. They often bring innovation and creativity. Children are, in fact, a superb demographic from which to recruit if you are a terrorist. Small Arms answers questions about recruitment strategies and tactics, determines what makes a child terrorist and what makes him or her different from an adult one, and charts the ways in which organizations use them. The unconventional focus on child and youth militants allows the authors to, in essence, give us a biography of the child terrorist and the organizations that use them. We are taken inside the mind of the adult and the child to witness that which perhaps most scares us.
Download or read book Countering Radicalisation and Violent Extremism Among Youth to Prevent Terrorism written by M. Lombardi and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although violent extremism is not a new phenomenon, it is increasingly recognized as a major challenge of our times. The recruitment of foreign fighters by extremist organizations, and its potential impact on public safety in the countries from which they come, is also emerging as a complex issue at the forefront of international preoccupations. This book presents the proceedings of the three day NATO Advanced Research Workshop, "Countering Violent Extremism Among Youth to Prevent Terrorism", held in Milan, Italy, in June 2014. The best way to respond to violent extremism in general, and the radicalization of disaffected youth in particular, is far from clear, but the stakes are so high and the potential threat to countries worldwide so great that inaction is not an option. The goal of the workshop was to enhance the capacity of policymakers and practitioners to design strategies that will achieve verifiable human-rights based outcomes to counter violent extremism. Subjects covered in the 19 papers which go to make up this book include: the causes or drivers of violent extremism; the factors which facilitate the recruitment of youth by violent extremist groups; the risk of growing Islamophobia in some Western and Central European countries; and proactive measures to counter the radicalization of youth. The book will be of interest to all those involved in policy development, prevention programs, de-radicalization programs or research aimed at countering violent extremism and the radicalization of young people.
Download or read book Safeguarding from Extremism written by Jaswant Singh Boora and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terrorist attacks on September 11th 2001 in New York and on July 7th 2005 in London were devastating. The London terrorist attacks executed by four British home-grown terrorists sent shockwaves throughout the nation. Since then, the risk and threat of home-grown terrorists have increased, especially towards the recruitment and radicalisation of vulnerable children and young people, as seen with Islamic State. This raises further questions pertaining to the safeguarding, well-being and protection of vulnerable children and young people from these extremist and terrorist groups. This book seeks to open up these discussions and challenges in these counter-terrorism and safeguarding realms, within a British context. It offers a range of publications, research, views and perspectives that provide a fresh analysis of the problems that we face within a safeguarding context since the attacks in 2005. This book is geared to those in particular from social work and social care disciplines, with wider relevance for all sectors working with these groups. Mr Boora’s new book gives an illuminating insight into some of the challenges faced by professionals, practitioners, managers, services and organisations within this rapidly developing agenda. This ranges from understanding safeguarding responsibilities, what is extremism, the Prevent agenda and terrorism legislation to current MI5 security concerns and inter-agency responses. This research seeks to clear up misunderstandings and misconceptions and to sharpen the focus where many can prioritise their efforts. ‘Boora has produced a timely and relevant primer on the intersection of safeguarding and radicalisation, written from the perspective of a very experienced practitioner in this field. It will provoke much needed thought and discussion’ Dr Gary Manders, Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology, University of Bedfordshire ‘Jaswant has executed an excellent contribution towards understanding the current concerns of extremism affecting children and young people. A good read for all professionals working in these sectors’.. Mohammed Saleem, Director of CMS est. 1981 “A superb read, at last a tangible document that gives those working at the front line with vulnerable young people real insight and knowledge of how serious the issue has become and the impact on keeping our young people safe” Christine Matthews-Harvey, Safeguarding & Gang Culture Trainer, Registered Children’s Home Manager, Keys Group

Download or read book Psychology of Terrorism written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In compiling this annotated bibliography on the psychology of terrorism, the author has defined terrorism as "acts of violence intentionally perpetrated on civilian noncombatants with the goal of furthering some ideological, religious or political objective." The principal focus is on nonstate actors. The task was to identify and analyze the scientific and professional social science literature pertaining to the psychological and/or behavioral dimensions of terrorist behavior (not on victimization or effects). The objectives were to explore what questions pertaining to terrorist groups and behavior had been asked by social science researchers; to identify the main findings from that research; and attempt to distill and summarize them within a framework of operationally relevant questions. To identify the relevant social science literature, the author began by searching a series of major academic databases using a systematic, iterative keyword strategy, mapping, where possible, onto existing subject headings. The focus was on locating professional social science literature published in major books or in peer-reviewed journals. Searches were conducted of the following databases October 2003: Sociofile/Sociological Abstracts, Criminal Justice Abstracts (CJ Abstracts), Criminal Justice Periodical Index (CJPI), National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts (NCJRS), PsycInfo, Medline, and Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS). Three types of annotations were provided for works in this bibliography: Author's Abstract -- this is the abstract of the work as provided (and often published) by the author; Editor's Annotation -- this is an annotation written by the editor of this bibliography; and Key Quote Summary -- this is an annotation composed of "key quotes" from the original work, edited to provide a cogent overview of its main points.

Download or read book Research Handbook on Child Soldiers written by Mark A. Drumbl and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child soldiers remain poorly understood and inadequately protected, despite significant media attention and many policy initiatives. This Research Handbook aims to redress this troubling gap. It offers a reflective, fresh and nuanced review of the complex issue of child soldiering. The Handbook brings together scholars from six continents, diverse experiences, and a broad range of disciplines. Along the way, it unpacks the life-cycle of youth and militarization: from recruitment to demobilization to return to civilian life. The overarching aim of the Handbook is to render the invisible visible – the contributions map the unmapped and chart new directions. Challenging prevailing assumptions and conceptions, the Research Handbook on Child Soldiers focuses on adversity but also capacity: emphasising the resilience, humanity, and potentiality of children affected (rather than ‘afflicted’) by armed conflict.
