āThe Psychology of Terrorism: Q&A with John Horganā
The Scientific American reprints their interview with psychologist and terrorism expert John Horgan following the attacks in Paris on November 13th. āAn issue I find problematic right now is the idea that to prevent terrorism, we have to first prevent radicalizationā¦ There are far more people who hold "radical" views than will ever become involved in terrorism, and there are plenty of terrorists (who are already small in number ā a point we tend to forget) who donāt initially hold radical views but drift into terrorism regardless.ā
