Popis: Terrorism is approached in terms of individuals' motivations in the context of group violence. Biological, social, and psychological factors that contribute to group violence in general are explored, and the psychological, rational choice, and structural explanations of terrorism are addressed. In light of these constructs, three patterns of thinking of individual participants in terrorist groups are posited, and some approaches to solving the terrorism problem are framed.
