The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the
necessity for law enforcement, intelligence, and other
organizations responsible for collecting information on
"proponents of terror," to include in target dossiers, data
regarding genetic inheritance and childhood environmental
influences. The author argues that without this type of
information, agencies are hindered in really knowing the
"proponent of terror," and thus limited in the possibilities
for neutralizing the subject. The study analyzes genetic
inheritance and childhood environment and presents case
studies on Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Ilich Ramirez
Sanchez ("Carlos"). The study concludes that genetic and
childhood environmental data should be included in target
dossiers of terrorists. Collection categories in genetic
inheritance and environment are recommended and include, for
example, material on terrorists' biological grandparents,
parents, and as appropriate, on their brothers and sisters,
and children.
