Lone-Actor Terrorism: An Integrated Framework
Editat de Jacob C. Holzer, Andrea J. Dew, Patricia R. Recupero, Paul Gill Cuvânt înainte de Andrew McCabe, John Wymanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 iul 2022
Observăm o creștere alarmantă a incidentelor de terorism individual, un fenomen care sfidează tiparele tradiționale de securitate prin complexitatea sa psihologică și socială. Volumul Lone-Actor Terrorism, coordonat de o echipă multidisciplinară condusă de Jacob C. Holzer, Andrea J. Dew, Patricia R. Recupero și Paul Gill, reunește experți de elită din centre academice și operaționale de prestigiu, inclusiv specialiști în sănătate mintală, criminologi și profesioniști din comunitatea de informații. Remarcăm prezența unor prefețe semnate de Andrew McCabe și John Wyman, care ancorează lucrarea în realitatea operativă a agențiilor de securitate.
Textul propune un „cadru integrat” pentru a descifra procesul de radicalizare și identificare a atacatorilor solitari. Considerăm că forța acestui tratat rezidă în abordarea sa clinică: spre deosebire de analizele pur politice, aici sunt explorați factori de dezvoltare, variabile de sănătate mintală și impactul substanțelor psihoactive, alături de analiza retoricii și a propagandei din social media. Structurat în patru secțiuni — exemple istorice, aspecte clinice, perspective non-clinice și evaluarea riscului — volumul oferă o rigoare științifică necesară într-un domeniu adesea dominat de speculații.
Manual de referință comparabil cu Understanding Lone Actor Terrorism de Michael Fredholm, dar actualizat conform ghidurilor și datelor recente de securitate, acesta se distinge prin accentul pus pe evaluarea riscurilor. În timp ce The Psychology of Extreme Violence de Clare Allely se concentrează pe patologia actelor de violență extremă, lucrarea de față merge mai departe, oferind instrumente de evaluare a amenințărilor aplicabile în practică de către psihiatrii judiciari și ofițerii de securitate.

De ce să citești această carte
Această lucrare este esențială pentru profesioniștii din psihiatrie judiciară, criminologie și securitate națională care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele psihologice ale terorismului individual. Cititorul câștigă acces la un model de evaluare a riscului bazat pe date clinice și sociologice, facilitând identificarea timpurie a indicatorilor de pericol într-un context în care amenințările devin tot mai atomizate și greu de anticipat prin metodele clasice de supraveghere.

Paul Gill este un cercetător proeminent în domeniul terorismului, specializat în analiza datelor comportamentale ale atacatorilor solitari. Împreună cu Andrea J. Dew, expertă în strategii de securitate și conflicte non-convenționale, aceștia au creat o sinergie între medicină și științele politice sub egida Oxford University Press.
Descriere
Lone-actor terrorism has unfortunately been on the rise in recent decades, causing major adverse societal effects in the United States and abroad. While lone-actor terrorists can be driven by a range of identifiable factors such as extremist views or availability of weapons, the process of becoming and identifying these individuals is deeply complicated. Lone-Actor Terrorism: An Integrated Framework outlines the societal causes and impacts of lone-actor terrorism from a multi-disciplinary, international perspective. Drawing together seasoned insights across clinical and forensic mental health, sociology, criminology, law, military and intelligence, and security, this volume explores patterns common to lone-actor terrorists across four major sections: historical and case examples, clinical aspects, non-clinical professional and alliedperspectives, and assessment and potential approaches to reducing the risk of lone-actor terrorism. Contributors describe both individual clinical factors affecting lone-actors, including developmental aspects, mental health variables, psychoactive drugs, psychometrics and linguists, along with broader socialfactors such as propaganda and rhetoric, social media, and geographical considerations. This volume concludes with a review of the available threat and risk assessment tools applicable to lone-actor terrorism cases and provides guidance for professionals seeking to reduce risk. While there is no uniform approach to the concept of lone-actor terrorism, this edited volume provides a diverse yet authoritative overview for those interested in better understanding the threats of lone-actor terrorism and its professional response.
