Episode: What the hell is radicalisation? And how do we better understand motivations for terrorism?
Description: The Wieambilla shootings last December reminded Australians that terrorism might not be far away if people are sufficiently motivated to commit acts of extreme violence. Georgia State University's Professor John Horgan has spent decades looking at the psychology of terrorism and in this episode he talks about issues related to radilcalisation, problems of classifying terrorist activities, and what drives certain individuals to do bad things.
