Using the insights provided by criminology, sociology, psychology, and other disciplines, Terrorism Inside America's Borders delivers a multi-faceted examination of the issues associated with domestic terrorism. Some of the issues explored include the similarities and differences between terrorism and other criminal activities, the roles that social institutions and social processes play in the creation and prevention of terrorism, the stages involved in the unfolding of a terrorism disaster, and the impacts terrorism has on people's lives and property. The history and trends of terrorism, as well as possible emerging solutions, are also explored.

Despite what is going globally doing these unprecedented times, this book share light on the real issues we are facing in real time. Systemic racism, social injustice, poverty and a broken criminal justice system are all acts of terrorism. -- Tenisha T. Stevens, Criminal Justice Commissioner, Office of Mayor LaToya Cantrell, City of New Orleans When one hears the word terrorism, many do not think state-side events. Within the textbook, Terrorism Inside America's Borders, several hot topics are highlighted and how these events have changed the lives of Americans and their view of terrorism. This is a timely compilation of material to further explain the far-reaching grasp terrorism has on the United States. -- Rosalyn D. Harrington, Winston-Salem State University
