About Book

This book investigates incidents of jihadist terrorist radicalization in the United States since September 11, 2001, focusing on the psychological, ideological, and sociopolitical factors that lead to the radicalization of individuals. Through case studies of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other groups, it explores how domestic jihadist threats have evolved and the role of social media in fostering recruitment. The book also emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation and de-radicalization strategies for individuals who have been radicalized, analyzing efforts to reintegrate former extremists into society. By offering a comprehensive view of both the causes of jihadist radicalization and the rehabilitation efforts, it provides critical insights into counter-terrorism policy and the prevention of future radicalization.Between 9/11 and the end of 2009, 46 publicly reported cases of domestic radicalization and recruitment to jihadist terrorism occurred in the United States, 13 of them in 2009. Most of the would be jihadists recruited themselves into the terrorist role, assisting foreign terrorist organizations, joining jihad fronts abroad, and plotting attacks. The terrorist threat has pushed law enforcement toward prevention rather than post-event apprehension
