Abstract
This chapter brings together some of the research directions suggested in earlier pages of the Handbook. Attention is drawn to P/CVE issues, the uncertain relation of radicalized ideas and terrorist violence, the potential of polling and survey research, the importance of moral judgment in radicalization to political violence, and the value of comparing terrorists with different streams of activists working for the same cause.
