Summary

How will criminal justice react to terrorism? In this book, some hard questions are asked about how terrorism is organized, supported, and financed, and what this will mean for the security of nations and international systems. Topics include the International Criminal Court, suicidal terrorism, counter-terrorism, the use of the Internet by terrorist organizations, and a profile of American terrorist Timothy McVeigh.
