thank you Donatella della Porta for coining the term “terroristologist.”

from now on when i meet people at academic conferences, I will introduce myself as Shane Boyle, terroristologist.

From international terrorism, and the field of international relations, “terroristologists” spread their net wider to include domestic political violence and non-underground groups— a trend testified for by the publication of sevel ‘dictionaries of terrorism’ as well as multicountry comparisons of domestic violence based on standardized data sets.
