The entangled threat of crime‎,‎ corruption‎,‎ and terrorism now deserves high‎-level policy attention because of its growth trajectory‎.‎ Using lively case studies‎,‎ this book analyzes the transformation of crime and terrorism and the business logic of terrorism‎.‎ Louise I‎.‎ Shelley concludes that corruption‎,‎ crime‎,‎ and terrorism will remain important security challenges in the twenty‎-first century as a result of economic and demographic inequalities in the world‎,‎ the rise of ethnic and sectarian violence‎,‎ climate change‎,‎ the growth of technology‎,‎ and the failure of nineteenth‎- and twentieth‎-century institutions to respond to these challenges when they emerged‎.‎
