ABSTRACT

Understanding terrorist groups’ recruitment strategies is the initial step for blocking terrorists’ activities. us, it is necessary to learn where terrorists recruit, how they approach their targets, what tools they use, whom they target, and the reasons that an individual would choose to join the organization. According to Gerwehr and Daly (2006), once governments clearly recognize the recruitment process, tactics could be developed to counteract the ability of terrorist groups to increase their membership. To be more successful in the ­ght against terrorism, o›cials should become aware of recruitment strategies that can serve to prevent or even eliminate the conditions under which people join terrorist organizations.
