"Why Good Kids Turn into Deadly Terrorists"
Show Guest: Dr. Alice LoCiero
The shock of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings was soon followed by a revelation that two apparently
unremarkable young brothers; both well-liked immigrants and longtime U.S. residents-had allegedly triggered
the bombs. Dr. Alice LoCiero's new book, Why Good Kids Turn into Deadly Terrorists, examines not only the
lives, motivations, and key influences of these infamous brothers, it also fosters understanding of how older
terrorists recruit vulnerable adolescents, how we can disrupt their tactics, and ways to involve the whole
community to prevent future tragedies.
