👉 Terror research, also known as terror studies or counter-terrorism research, focuses on understanding the psychological, social, and political factors that contribute to terrorism. It seeks to identify the motivations, ideologies, and tactics of terrorist groups to develop effective strategies for prevention, intervention, and response. This field examines how individuals and groups radicalize, the role of grievances and perceived injustices, and the impact of technology and media on the spread of extremist ideologies. By analyzing these elements, researchers aim to disrupt terrorist networks, enhance security measures, and promote community resilience against radicalization, ultimately aiming to reduce the incidence and impact of terrorism.
