Sociology professor searches for answers to how a citizen becomes a terrorist. Lorne Dawson examines the radicalization process and the national security response.
We live in a world in which unprecedented resources are dedicated to ensuring our security. Part of that process, says Lorne Dawson, is trying to understand how and why certain people in our own society become radicalized and potential terrorists intent on wreaking havoc on their fellow citizens. Lorne Dawson is a professor of sociology and co-director of the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society.
