In \u003cb\u003eTerrorism as Crime\u003c\/b\u003e Mark S. Hamm presents an understanding of terrorism from a criminological point of view, arguing that the most successful way to understand, detect, prosecute and deter these acts is to use conventional criminal investigation methods. Whether in Oklahoma City or London, \u003cb\u003eTerrorism as Crime\u003c\/b\u003e demonstrates that criminal activity is the lifeblood of terrorist groups and that there are simple common denominators at work that can remove the mystery surrounding many of these terrorist groups. Once understood the vulnerabilities of these organizations can be exposed.\u003cbr\u003eThis important volume focuses in on six case studies of crimes committed by jihad and domestic right wing groups, including biographies of more than two dozen terrorists along with descriptions of their organizations, strategies, and terrorist plots. \u003cb\u003eTerrorism as Crime\u003c\/b\u003e offers an original and significant framework for explaining international and domestic terrorism, as well as how future acts might be detected or exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark S.
