Learning from Violent Extremist Attacks: Behavioural Sciences Insights for Practitioners and Policymakers is a significant piece of work written with the security practitioner and policy-maker in mind. It is a collection of thoughtful contributions by a community of social scientists, led by Dr. Majeed Khader and his fellow editors, applying their training, scholarship, and experience to try and unpack various facets of the complex phenomenon of violent extremism we are faced with today.
The project is ambitious and formidable in its comprehensiveness tackling a full range of issues and questions on the subject from the individual and social psychology of extremists, the strength and limits of different assessment tools, and of approaches to rehabilitation, to societal resilience, crisis planning, and consequence management in a public engagement terrain permeated by social media. And, for good measure, it even raises the potential boon for policing and counter-terrorism agencies that can accrue from tapping smart technology in a smart city like Singapore.
Notwithstanding its very broad range, stretched and covered in more than 600 pages, the reader will be pleased to find that its individual chapter-pieces are typically written in a succinct, balanced, and pointed manner, making them reader-friendly and very accessible. More importantly, the reader will also find that many of these pieces consistently succeed in drawing out practical lessons, raising crucial questions including prevailing knowledge deficits (which researchers can follow up on), and frequently offer valuable insights, which can only better inform and inspire policy and practice.
Dr. Majeed and his team are to be congratulated for this very commendable collaborative work. It reflects a healthy and growing community of social scientists in Singapore and the region who are focused and engaged in a subject of real and urgent importance to the well-being of our various societies. And it has produced this book which I would strongly recommend as an essential read for all who want to know more and to better understand this complex subject we are still grappling with today.

Coordination (20112016)
This book is an essential read for those kept awake at night wondering how they can stop the next attack and what to do the day after. Majeed Khader and his team of behavioural scientists have provided lessons that inform both policy-making and operational tactics. For the academic researcher, the book also offers a rare Asian perspective on a global scourge.
Mr. Ali Soufan
CEO of The Soufan Group, author of The Black Banners &
Anatomy of Terror, and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent
This is both an important and timely publication. The rich and textured offerings within go some considerable way to bridging the gap between academia and practitioners in the field of countering violent extremism and radicalisation studies. The sheer wealth of insights will repay close reading on the part of the expert, practitioner, or diligent layman.
