“…In the post 9/11 world, there has been a growing interest in research related to terrorism (Carmel et al, 2020; Cohen-Louck, 2019; Demir & Guler, 2021; Hasisi et al, 2020). Terrorist acts are extremely violent and their victims random.…”

To explore the interrelationship between terrorist acts, terrorist ethnicity, and observer gender and cultural background in Israel, we recruited 211 participants aged 19–75 years. The majority were male (63%). As for the ethnic and religious cultural background, 40% were Jewish, 40% Druze, and 20% Muslim. The participants answered questions about their demographic characteristics, read three scenarios of terrorist acts, addressed attitudes toward terrorists, and suggested the length of imprisonment. We manipulated the type of act (shooting and killing/burning religious institutions/throwing stones at cars) and terrorist ethnicity (Arab/ Jewish). The results indicate significant main effects of the manipulated variables regarding attitudes toward terrorists. Also, Muslim Arab participants expressed more negative attitudes in cases of Jewish terrorists than Arab terrorists, whereas Jewish participants expressed more negative attitudes toward Arab terrorists than Jewish terrorists. Druze participants did not differentiate between Arab and Jewish terrorists. Furthermore, in cases of Arab perpetrators, Jewish participants suggested imprisonment terms 2.4 times longer than in cases of Jewish perpetrators. The discussion addresses the findings in the context of social identity theory and dual social identification. Regarding practical implications, the findings imply the need for education and training on ethnic bias among policymakers and practitioners.

“…PROTON researchers conducted various empirical field studies and a meta-analysis, and developed agent-based modelling simulations of the effects of different societal and environmental changes on terrorism. The first article of this special issue (Wolfowicz et al 2019) was a product of the PROTON project, as were two more of the contributions to this special issue Hasisi et al 2019a). Another contribution (Perry 2019) was a product of an earlier initiative funded by the European Union called PRIME (2015).…”

“…Three of the articles are based on various types of spatial analyses (Perry 2019;Hasisi et al 2019b, Marchment et al 2019. Three additional articles (Hasisi et al 2019a, Corner and Gill 2019 each employ different methods to deal with issues of recidivism and disengagement. Two of the articles (Varaine 2019;Carson et al 2019) are macro-level studies using time-series data within a single country.…”

“…Так, по утверждению израильских ученых, уровень рецидива среди преступников, совершающих преступления террористической направленности, выше, чем среди обычных преступников. При этом «рецидив преступлений, связанных с новым террористическим преступлением, растет с увеличением числа предыдущих тюремных заключений, связанных с терроризмом, и уменьшается с увеличением числа повторных тюремных заключений за обычные уголовные преступления» [20].…”

The Concept of Counteracting Terrorism in the Russian Federation: Prospects for Improvement Using the Experience of Fighting Against Religious Terrorism

The article analyzes the necessity of amending the current Terrorism Counteraction Concept and of incorporating in it the experience of fighting against the international terrorist organization «The Islamic State». The author gives a positive answer to this question based on the research he has conducted. The article analyzes key measures of preventing terrorism (religious terrorism), while considerable attention is paid to information measures. It is concluded that «clarification of the essence of terrorism» (as a measure included in the Terrorism Counteraction Concept of the Russian Federation) is impossible without providing the society with stable and comprehensive information about the crimes (genocide, crimes against peace and security of humankind, war crimes) committed by terrorists and without condemning them. This work should be primarily aimed at those groups of people (ethnic and confessional) who are the main target for international terrorist organizations trying to recruit new terrorists under the guise of religion.
