France / États-Unis, deux réponses au terrorisme
Dans les systèmes américain et français, les procès en matière de terrorisme présentent de fortes différences. Il existe de nombreuses juridictions différentes et bien que la partie civile ne soit pas impliquée dans un procès pénal, elle dispose d'un recours en réparation dans les affaires civiles. Les procédures pénales fédérales sont contradictoires. Le ministère public et la défense négocient tout au long de la procédure sur les charges retenu…
France / United States, two responses to terrorism
U.S. terrorism trials are very different from French trials. There are multiple jurisdictions for trials and although la partie civile is not involved in criminal trial, it has recourse for compensation in civil cases. Federal criminal proceedings are adversarial, and the prosecution and defense are in constant negotiation as to charges and sentences. Terrorism trials are subject to special laws that criminalize material support for terrorism and…
On Recidivism
Altier, Boyle, and Horgan claim a 64.6 percent terrorist recidivism rate. However, the unrepresentativeness of their sample, a confusion between the notions of a recidivism base rate and the percentage of recidivists in a sample, and a questionable concept of a global terrorist population undermine their claim
The Implication of Terrorism's Extremely Low Base Rate
A robust empirical finding is that global neojihadi terrorism is extremely rare in Western countries compared to other kinds of violence. Its base rate in the West is about 3 new global neojihadis per 100 million people per year. Bayesian conditional probability shows that this extremely low base rate ensures that any attempt to detect a potential global neojihadi on the basis of imperfectly specific indicators (conditions) will generate a large …
L’émergence du terrorisme
En 1997, le rapport du professeur David Graddol, The future of English, publié par le British Council, ouvrait la voie à diverses études sur le poids des langues dans le monde au présent et au futur. La méthodologie n’était appliquée qu’à l’anglais et la francophonie en particulier était totalement ignorée. Qu’en serait-il aujourd’hui ? C’est à cette question que cette analyse s’efforce de répondre

Turning to Political Violence
What motivates those who commit violence in the name of political beliefs? Terrorism today is not solely the preserve of Islam, nor is it a new phenomenon. It emerges from social processes and conditions common to societies throughout modern history, and the story of its origins spans centuries, encompassing numerous radical and revolutionary movements.Marc Sageman is a forensic psychiatrist and government counterterrorism consultant whose bestse…

The Stagnation in Terrorism Research
Despite over a decade of government funding and thousands of newcomers to the field of terrorist research, we are no closer to answering the simple question of “What leads a person to turn to political violence?” The state of stagnation with respect to this issue is partly due to the government strategy of funding research without sharing the necessary primary source information with academia, which has created an unbridgeable gap between academi…

Civilian Trials and the Prevention of Atrocities
Amitai Etzioni makes a strong case for the judicial treatment of terrorists as separate from criminals or soldiers. He proposes several guidelines, including select human rights, special detention
Leaderless Jihad
Main description: Building on his previous groundbreaking work on the al Qaeda network, forensic psychiatrist Marc Sageman has greatly expanded his research to explain how Islamic terrorism emerges and operates in the twenty-first century
Connecting Terrorist Networks
This article highlights initial findings from the authors’ Global Transnational Terrorism (GTT) Project, which began in August 2006. The case study draws on the database work for Southeast Asia and charts the rise of a militant minority within Jemaah Islamiyah, which was directly responsible for a series of attacks from 2000–2005. The important but restricted role of radical madrassahs and the importance of kinship emerge clearly from the study. …
A Strategy for Fighting International Islamist Terrorists
The U.S. strategy for combating international Islamist terrorists must be based on an understanding of the terrorists' behavior and the process of radicalization to violence. This process includes four dimensions: a sense of moral outrage, interpreted in a specific way, which resonates with one's personal experiences, and is channeled through group dynamics, both face-to-face and online. The threat has evolved over the past decade. The process of…
Mutually Assured Support
If the United States were subject to a terrorist nuclear attack, its president would face overwhelming political pressure to respond decisively. A well-prepared response could help both to prevent additional attacks and to bring the perpetrators to justice. An instinctive response could be cataclysmically ineffective, inflicting enormous collateral damage without achieving either deterrence or justice. An international security doctrine of Mutual…

Understanding Terror Networks
"In the late '80s, Sageman worked closely with Islamic fundamentalists during the Afghan-Soviet war and gained an intimate understanding of the development, form, and function of their networks. Sagemen wrote this book in order to dispel incorrect assertions about terrorist networks made by so-called experts."— Publishers Weekly
