This chapter looks at the role that emotion has in driving and shaping the response to terrorism in ways which are seldom expressly considered in the literature on counter-terrorism. It highlights examples from the case studies above, showing how emotion operates, from the knee-jerk reaction of rank and file personnel, to strategies and policies intended to seek revenge rather than effectively counter the terrorist threat.
