Keywords:
terrorism, social geometry, pure sociology, social control, collective violence, Donald BlackAbstract
As one of the most controversial social and political matters of the 20th and 21st century, terrorism is being analyzed by a large number of social theorists. The sociological study of terrorism has given contributions of great importance to the understanding of this problem in the context of functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. In addition to the contribution of classical sociological theories, terrorism is also of big interest at the present time and it is an issue dealt by contemporary sociology. This paper presents the theory of geometry of terrorism, which has developed within approach called pure sociology. The theory explains terrorism using social geometry, otherwise stated, it uses multidimensional locations of terrorism and its direction in the social space.
