Abstract
This introductory chapter evaluates the similarities and differences between terrorism and organized crime from an historical perspective. It then discusses the usefulness of historical research for understanding and responding to contemporary threats and phenomena. The chapter concludes by drawing out some of the key ‘lessons learned’, from individual chapters, which stood out to the editors.
