Skinheads go beyond the societal stereotype of hate mongers, bigots, and Neo-Nazis. The community of skins also includes traditional skins (those that adhere to the original philosophy of the British movement in 1969), Skinheads Against Racial prejudice (SHARPS), and gay skins, female skins and Neo-Nazi or Racist/Nationalist skins. Skinhead History, Identity, and Culture covers the history, identity, and culture of the skinhead movement in Europe and America, looking at the total culture of the skins through a cross-sectional analysis of skinheads in various countries.Authors Borgeson and Valeri provide original research data to cast new light into the skinhead community. Some of the data is ethnographic, drawing on face-to-face interviews with skins of all kinds, while other data is compiled from the Internet and social media about various skinhead groups within the United States, Europe, and Australia. The book covers the history of the subculture; explores the unique cultures of female, gay, and Neo-Nazi skins; and explores manifestations of the culture as represented on the Internet and in music. The work discusses how skinheads derive their values and morals and how they fit into the larger social structure.

Criminal Profiling provides a thorough and up-to-date overview of profiling in criminal justice.By focusing on different styles of profiling—whose underpinnings rely on behavioral and geographical theories—it is designed to provide police and others in criminal justice with an understanding of the consistency of behavior at the crime scene, the consistent nature of criminal motivations, how criminals work in familiar geographic areas, and how to construct a timeline of events. Profiling attempts to generate an identifiably consistent personality pattern based on principal character traits inferred from behavior at the crime scene, leading to the predictability of future criminal behavior. The three main types of profiling used in criminal justice—crime scene analysis (FBI profiling), investigative psychology, and geographic profiling—are explained and analyzed, and the essential role of victimology and case linkage is emphasized. Special consideration is given to three primary assumptions—behavioral consistency, behavioral distinctiveness, and homology—that underlie the effectiveness of different approaches to criminal profiling.Practical and approachable, this book brings together the theory and practice of criminal profiling. It is suitable for students in Criminal Profiling and other investigative courses, and equips both future and present investigators with the tools to use profiling principles to their fullest advantage.

The New Phase of Global Terrorism explores the nuances of the shift in the organization, strategy, and operation of terrorist groups into smaller and more robust terror groups in both the United States and international levels. To develop efficient counterterrorism measures, both domestically and globally, an understanding of the changing nature of terrorist group structure and strategy is essential. In this edited collection, authoritative scholars use relevant theories of sociology and psychology, as well as evidence from leading counterterrorism agencies such as the FBI, to support analysis, examples, and explanations of the landscape of terrorism around the world.Part I discusses the evolution, theories, and psychology of terrorism. In this part, the authors outline the rationale of the book, capturing how terrorism has changed over the years. In Part II, the book explores the new phase of domestic terrorism, drawing on left-wing extremism, right-wing extremism, and jihadist attackers in the United States with a focus on their use of lone actor attacks and decentralized networks. Part III focuses on the new phase of international terrorism and discusses operational organization and strategies of international terror groups and their capabilities in the form of combat operations and small group operatives in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and South-East Asia. Part IV covers terrorists' use of technology for propaganda, recruitment, training, and operations, with examples from the use of technology in recruiting and training by Al-Qaeda and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Part V brings this information together and analyzes the criminal justice response, including building partnerships with counterterrorism agencies, intelligence sharing, and the use of courts to bring terrorist actors to justice.Ideal as a text in terrorism, counterterrorism, and homeland security courses, this book is highly readable for criminal justice, psychology, and sociology students and professors, as well as policymakers and practitioners concerned with countering terrorism at home and abroad.

Cyberhate: The Far Right in the Digital Age explores how right-wing extremists operate in cyberspace by examining their propaganda, funding, subcultures, movements, offline violence, and the ideologies that drive it. Scholars and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and professions including criminal justice, psychology, cybersecurity, religion, law, education, and terrorism studies contribute to provide an extensive analysis of the far-right online political landscape. Specific topics include laws surrounding cyberhate, propaganda, bitcoin funding, online subcultures such as the manosphere, theories that explain why some take the path of violence, and specific movements including the alt-right and the terroristic Atomwaffen Division. Relying on manifestos and other correspondence posted online by recent perpetrators of mass murder, this book focuses on specific groups, individuals, and acts of violence to explain how concepts like “white genocide” and incel ideology have motivated recent deadly violence.
