This book provides the first empirical analysis of lone-actor
terrorist behaviour. Based upon a unique dataset of 111 lone actors
that catalogues the life span of the individual's development, the
book contains important insights into what an analysis of their
behaviours might imply for practical interventions aimed at
disrupting or even preventing attacks. It adopts insights and
methodologies from criminology and forensic psychology to provide a
holistic analysis of the behavioural underpinnings of lone-actor
terrorism. By focusing upon the behavioural aspects of each
offender and by analysing a variety of case studies, including
Anders Breivik, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh and David Copeland,
this work marks a pointed departure from previous research in the
field. It seeks to answer the following key questions: Is there a
lone-actor terrorist profile and how do they differ? What
behaviours did the lone-actor terrorist engage in prior to his/her
attack and is there a common behavioural trajectory into lone-actor
terrorism? How 'lone' do lone-actor terrorists tend to be? What
role, if any, does the internet play? What role, if any, does
mental illness play? This book will be of much interest to students
of terrorism/counter-terrorism studies, political violence,
criminology, forensic psychology and security studies in general.
