   In the Ninth Edition:

    

   • Utilizes a significant contemporary issue of violent acts―the escalating radicalization through social media platforms―to connect its chapters, particularly in terms of domestic aggression threats and the surge of the extreme right in the US and abroad.

    

   • Explores the developing “fifth wave” of modern violence acts, linking and radicalizing groups and individuals across the globe, enlisting individuals for violent acts in their own nations and involving them in international conflicts.

    

   • Compares the profile of domestic extremists over time up to the Capitol rioters of January 2021.

    

   • Incorporates new and updated case studies on a variety of violent act phenomena including the Covid-19 pandemic, Q’Anon, the Boogaloo Movement, the Proud Boys, and the Conflict on Terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, among several others.
