John Horgan: The Dangers of Hanging Out with Terrorists

John Horgan interviews an IRA terrorist and wonders if he's made a huge (and perhaps dangerous) mistake in his life choices.

John Horgan is a Professor in the Global Studies Institute and Department of Psychology at Georgia State University. He has a PhD in applied psychology and his research focuses on understanding psychological qualities of the pathways into, through and out of terrorism. The goal of this research is to better understand why people become terrorists so that we can potentially prevent more people from becoming terrorists in the first place.
