“…The second most common reason was the low cost of the madrassas and their provision of food and clothing (Cockcroft, ). In a study of Deobandi (a Muslim sect) religious schools, Bano () asserted that only a small proportion of these institutions promote extremism, and that their reputation as “breeding grounds for terror” may not be justified.…”

This article reviews the behavioral science perspectives of terrorism in Pakistan. It can be argued that Pakistan has gained worldwide attention for "terrorism" and its role in the "war against terrorism". The region is well placed geopolitically for economic successes but has been plagued by terrorism in various shapes and forms. A behavioral sciences perspective of terrorism is an attempt to explain it in this part of the world as a complex interplay of historical, geopolitical, anthropological and psychosocial factors and forces. Drawing from theories by Western scholars to explain the behavioral and cognitive underpinnings of a terrorist mind, the authors highlight the peculiarities of similar operatives at individual and group levels. Thorny issues related to the ethical and human right dimensions of the topic are visited from the unique perspective of a society challenged by schisms and divergence of opinions at individual, family, and community levels. The authors have attempted to minimize the political descriptions, although this cannot be avoided entirely, because of the nature of terrorism.

Her research examines the role of education in intergenerational transfers of poverty and life chances, with a focus on young people's own experiences of, and views on, their education. In her DPhil, she combines a political economy perspective with ethnographic research, to understand the trajectories of traditional Qur'anic students (almajirai) in northern Nigeria. Searching for Knowledge and Recognition: Traditional Qur'anic Students (almajirai) in Kano, Nigeria is based on Hannah Hoechner's thesis work for her MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Oxford.

“…The madrassas nowadays are considered and perceived by some non-religious organizations as a threat to western society consequently, madrassa produced feelings of fear. The situation became more complex after the incident of 9/11 (Bano, 2007;Mumtaz, 2004;Rashid, 2004;Rehman, 2008;Riaz, 2008). Now Pakistan government has introduced a number of reforms in madrassas and regulated them.…”
