Organizational structures and practices are better predictors of suicide terror threats than individual psychological dispositions

Résumé

Comments on an article by Adam Lankford (2014). Terror organizations tend to rely on a limited number of practices to reinforce commitment to suicide on the part of recruits. Therefore, given the many difficulties associated with identifying individuals willing to become suicide terrorists, understanding the organizational contexts in which most suicide terrorism takes place is likely to be more useful than psychological profiling for predicting future attacks.
