Volume XIX, Issue 2, 2025

Articles in Volume XIX, Issue 2 of Perspectives on Terrorism takes a closer look at similarities and differences between former paramilitary members and paramilitary sympathisers, examines how extremists within leaderless movements acquire, interpret, store and disseminate knowledge, analyses the scope and impact of propaganda efforts by Islamic State Khorasan Province, and takes a closer look at how Kazakhstan approaches the rehabilitation and reintegration of children repatriated from Syria and Iraq. This Issue also includes two research notes. The first introduces and analyses an original dataset of US federal charges associated with terrorism-related IED incidents in the United States observed from 2009 through 2024. The second identifies a pattern of data distribution among digital extremism and terrorism that yields insights about linguistic content, individual behaviours, and overarching structures of extremist/terrorist digital ecosystems. The Issue concludes with an extensive bibliography on Counter-terrorism Cooperation, two books reviews and a review essay on seventeen textbooks, handbooks and general books used in college and university courses on terrorism and counter-terrorism.
