About this ebook
A criminologist identifies the indoctrination methods used by ISIS to recruit ordinary people from all walks of life to their extremist crusade.
Though the recruitment of ISIS terrorists began in Iraq, but it has quickly become a global phenomenon. Young men and women of all races, cultures, and religious backgrounds are being manipulated into donning tactical gear and carrying heavy artillery. In The Jihadi Next Door, criminologist Kimberly Mehlman-Orozco explains how ordinary people are being conscripted into terrorism.
Using interviews with convicted terrorists, in-depth research and analysis of extremist propaganda, and case-specific details, Dr. Mehlman-Orozco provides nuanced theories into the methods of terrorist recruitment—methods which can be used to identify persons at high risk of being targeted.
By laying bare the tactics used by ISIS to deceive and exploit new recruits and exposing the veneer these extremists operate under, Dr. Mehlman-Orozco hopes to empower readers with the knowledge needed to prevent future recruitment in their communities.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I found this subject so interesting. The fact that Americans with no connection to any terrorist group could be recruited pretty easily is astonishing to me and believable all at once. Criminologist/Author Kimberly Mehlman-Orozco explains the precise patterns that make average Americans vulnerable to recruitment. Those patterns are not what you'd think they are.
In the right hands, this theory may allow anyone to see the signs earlier than before, and this may prevent future terrorism around the world.
