In a decade that has seen the rise of far-right extremism, Western
countries still face myriad threats of mass violence, including
terrorism. Of particular concern is the phenomenon of ""lone-wolf
terrorism,"" whereby acts of political violence are committed by
individuals who are operating independently of any organized
terrorist group, something which makes them inherently more
difficult to identify in advance of an attack. Now there is a need
for research that profiles these perpetrators, explores the
incidents that occur, and analyzes the shifting changes in mass
violence, technology, and terrorist behavior in modern times.
Mitigating Mass Violence and Managing Threats in Contemporary
Society explores the shifting definitions and implications of mass
violence and covers important areas focused on the individuals who
partake in these acts as well as weapon choice and the influence of
weapon accessibility, how the attention-seeking behavior and
promotion of violent actions is evolving, and how technology is
used such as disseminating a manifesto prior to the incidents or
using live streaming to broadcast incidents of mass violence as
they transpire. The book also examines ways to prevent these
incidents before they occur, which is a proven challenge with no
single accurate profile for offenders, and whether perpetrators of
mass violence share similar goals and motivations for their sprees,
as well as commonalities in warning behaviors. This comprehensive
research work is essential for law enforcement, military officials,
defense specialists, national security experts, criminologists,
psychologists, government officials, policymakers, lawmakers,
professionals, practitioners, academicians, students, and
researchers working in the fields of conflict analysis and
resolution, crisis management, law enforcement, mental health,
education, psychology, sociology, criminology, criminal justice,
terrorism, and other social sciences.
