Opis

This book, which is intended as a contribution to a better understanding of women's participation in terrorism, deals with four main issues: (1) the study of women's participation in violent terrorist movements to try to discover the key to the psychological and sociological interpretation of their involvement in a life experience with which they are not traditionally associated; (2) the different responses to "penitentism" between men and women; (3) the psychological and social interpretation of women's support of armed struggle and an enquiry- through the personal experience of the women terrorists interviewed- into the reasons of women's greater resistance to repentance; (4) the use in the criminal justice system of the leads this enquiry has furnished for prognostic purposes and to predict and create conditions that facilitate repentance.
