Abstract

This chapter engages in a critical analysis of the use of 'offender profiling' as developed in a criminal context and asks what relevance does such a paradigm have when applied in a terrorism context? More specifically, does offender profiling have potential to assist in developing a more comprehensive understanding of terrorism or is it largely irrelevant?
