N2  - This paper highlights the contribution of both societal and smaller-group socialization processes to the trajectory of individuals who become suicide bombers. Using examples such as the 9/11 and 7/7 bombers, this pathway model proposes that certain socialization processes predispose audiences towards participating in violence. Experiencing a catalyst (which can take many forms) makes the motivation to join a terrorist organization salient. Pre-existing social or familial bonds facilitate the recruitment process. Finally, the internalization of relevant in-group norms sets the individual on his final path to becoming a suicide bomber. The chances of progression from one stage to the next reduce due to structural or personal constraints.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
