In this live interactive Criminology/Psychology tutorial, we will be joined by Jen Phipps, a leading academic from the Department of Law & Criminology at Aberystwyth University, who will explore Living in Fear: The Psychological Warfare of Terrorism.

This session provides participants an insight into the psychology underlying the stronghold that terrorism has on societies, namely fear. It then goes on to consider how our lives and very freedoms, are controlled and governed, through fear generated by the threat of terrorism and other crimes.

The full context/introduction to this live and interactive discussion is provided by the university in a Headliner recorded resource (see below) which offers insights into the key academic research and debate related to this fascinating topic. This recording can be watched as a class activity or independently in preparation for the discussion.

The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university tutorial.

The Headliner recording is below.
