| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study aims to address the relative lack of research examining the Canadian experience of terrorism relating to the "Global Salafi Jihad." The fundamental research question was "What have people living in, or from, Canada been doing to support or advance violent jihad either at home or abroad?" Data were collected on individuals active from the 1980s through to the end of 2011 in an effort to be as exhaustive as possible. They were analysed according to three broad categories: background variables; operational variables; and investigations and outcomes. The sample was further divided into two and results compared according to whether individuals began offending before or after September 11, 2001, in order to assess change over time. The article begins with a brief history of terrorism in Canada, followed by the methodology, analysis of variables, and summary and conclusions. Cases included and excluded from the analysis are listed in Appendices A and B respectively. |
