The editors of the Hate Crimes as Domestic Terrorism book series are soliciting chapter submissions for the above titled book to be published by Praeger Press.

Focus: To examine the psychological dynamics of recruitment and membership in ideologically oriented groups. Drawing upon the work of both North American and international researchers, this book will incorporate a range of domains in psychology – from terror threat study to advertising research – to identify the factors that lead individuals to join and participate in ideologically violent groups. By incorporating classical models of aggression and ideology, this book will also look at specific regional and cultural factors that lead to the rise of violent ideological gangs and networks. The contribution will move beyond descriptive and prescriptive perspectives to a more theory-driven understanding of how and why individuals become members of ideologically driven groups.

Empirical research papers, theoretical articles, and discussion manuscripts ranging in length from 9000 to 15,000 words (excluding the abstract, references, footnotes, captions) are sought.  All works must be original productions without significant portions of the submission published elsewhere.

Examples of topics include:

·         Conceptual and theoretical issues in hate group recruitment;

·         Efforts to counter hate recruitment propaganda;

·         Process of desistance from a hate-based lifestyle;

·         Examination of the motives and methods of stand-alone terrorists;

·         Advertising of hate identity;

·         History of recruitment and membership in ideological and cultural terrorist networks;

·         And other topics related to how people are recruited, indoctrinated, and leave hate crimes and terrorist organizations.
