	+	'''David C. Rapoport''' is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is one of the earliest terrorologists and a founding co-editor of the journal [[Terrorism and Political Violence]].

	+	==Career==
	+	Rapoport studied a PhD in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley in the late 1950s. His thesis, ‘Praetorianism government without consensus’, was published in June 1960. <ref>’Praetorianism government without consensus’ by David C Rapoport. Thesis (Ph. D. in Political Science)--University of California, Berkeley, June 1960</ref> From 1959 he lectured at Barnard College in New York before joining University of California in 1962. <ref>[http://webh01.ua.ac.be/extremismanddemocracy/newsletter/Profiles4_3.htm Profile] from former website of the ECPR Standing Group on Extremism & Democracy (accessed 21 November 2008)</ref> Rapoport gives the following account of how he become involved in terrorology:
	+
	+	<blockquote style="background-color:ivory;border:1pt solid Darkgoldenrod;padding:1%;font-size:10pt">My initial commitment was to political theory, particularly the concept of corruption or decay, and I had an interest in military institutions and violence. In 1970 I was invited to give six lectures on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The subject was assassination but I ran out of material in the 4th lecture and slipped into terrorism and could never get out. <ref>[http://webh01.ua.ac.be/extremismanddemocracy/newsletter/Profiles4_3.htm Profile] from former website of the ECPR Standing Group on Extremism & Democracy (accessed 21 November 2008)</ref></blockquote>
	+
	+	In the early 1970s Rapoport was – according to [[Alex Schmid]] – one of “only a handful of academic researchers who took ‘terrorism’ seriously”. <ref>[[Media:Farewell words for prof. Paul Wilkinson.pdf\| Speech]] given by Professor Alex P. Schmid on the occasion of Paul’s retrial. Accessed from URL <http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~cstpv/about/staffprofiles/pwretiral101007.pdf> on 28 June 2008, 13:47:59</ref> The other notable figures were George Bouthoul in Paris, [[Eugene Walter]] in Boston, [[Brian Jenkins]] at [[terrorexpertise:RAND Corporation\|RAND]] and [[Martha Crenshaw]]. <ref>[[Media:Farewell words for prof.
