The book is based on data insights obtained through qualitative research using in-depth interviews with 40 participants while presenting an analysis of the socio-economic factors that are the major reason for Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria. The general motivation of the research consisting of nine general headings is the unabated radicalization of Boko Haram jihadists in Nigeria in the last decade. These headings are “General Introduction and Analytical Explanation of Key Concepts in Terrorism Studies”, “Towards a Demystification of Pervasive Understanding of Boko Haram Terrorism”, “Patterns That Maintain the Boko Haram Terrorism in Nigeria”, “Boko Haram Insurgency Democratic Failure and Youth Degeneration Into Terrorism in Nigeria”, “Boko Haram Terrorism and Socio-Economic Decays in Nigeria”, “Community Policing as an Antidote for Terrorism Lessons From Boko Haram Phenomenon”, “Theories and Perspectives on Terrorism: A Boko Haram Model Analysis”, “Methodology and Qualitative Research Strategy” and a final section, titled “Summary and General Conclusion” that sheds light on the main causes of Boko Haram terrorism and seeks answers to the research questions of the study (who, what, when, where, why and how) with reference to the book in general.
