Abstract

The majority of the suspected perpetrators behind recent terrorist attacks in the West had been involved in violent crime prior to the attacks. This indicates that it is not necessarily ideological influence that leads to terrorism. As a consequence, the current concept of radicalisation should be supplemented with an understanding that criminal violence may be transformed into political violence.
