Male and Female Suicide Bombers: Different Sexes, Different Reasons? (2008, background): “Whilst early research postulated mental disorders and psychological deficiencies as factors contributing to the commitment of suicide terrorism (Pearlstein 1991), these claims have largely been dismissed by later studies (Crenshaw 2000; Pape 2005; Silke 2003).”
Interviewing the terrorists: reflections on fieldwork and implications for psychological research (2012, background): “Although terrorism is much more than the sum of individual acts, we need to understand the individual terrorist and the ways in which a variety of issues (e.g. fellow members, ideology) impinge upon that individual (Borum, 2004; McCauley & Segal, 1987; Silke, 2003; Taylor, 1988).”
The Mind of the Terrorist (2005, background): “As Silke (2003, 33) said so well, "Very few individuals of aggrieved minorities go on to become active terrorists.”
Psychological factors in terrorism and counterterrorism: Individual, group, and organizational levels of analysis. (2009, background): “The element of . . . madness plays an important role in terrorism” (as quoted in Silke, 2003, p. 30).”
