Teaching on terrorism: Problems of interdisciplinary integration in introductory‐level texts

Abstract

This essay reviews three works intended to provide justice students with an introduction to the study of terrorism. Examination of these texts provides an opportunity to consider one of the most recent developments in the justice field: an emerging focus on terrorism. It also provides an opportunity to consider one of the field’s most persistent problems: the problem of integration across disciplinary boundaries. While new research technologies and advancing theoretical integration in the justice field may facilitate integration of relevant materials across disciplinary boundaries, good work may ultimately depend upon the traditional collaboration of authors, editors, and critical colleagues.
