Terrorism: an analysis of the literature

TL;DR: The findings dramatically emphasize the need for government leaders, policy makers, researchers, and funding agencies to support both outcome evaluations of these programs as well as efforts to develop an infrastructure to foster counter-terrorism evaluation research.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a general review of terrorism literature as well as a Campbell systematic review on counter-terrorism strategies, and concluded that counterterrorism policy is not evidence-based and emphasized the need for government leaders, policy makers, researchers, and funding agencies to include and insist on evaluations of the effectiveness of these programs in their agendas.

TL;DR: In this paper, a central theme in crime prevention research and public interventions is emphasized: Interventions addressing issues of great public importance must still be evidence-based, and the values of democratic governance, which include accountability, legitimacy, legality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of government actions, necessitate the development of a more evidencebased approach to programs and interventions, whether they focus on everyday crime or terroristic violence.
