Abstract

Lone wolf terrorism has continued to be a scourge since the beginning of the 21st century. The volume and severity of fundamentalist “lone wolf” terrorist attacks have sharply increased over the past decade. Since 2000, the number of attacks carried out by individuals and independent groups has continued to increase. Despite numerous studies of lone wolf terrorism, a comprehensive policy to combat this threat remains lacking. There are two factors of the reason for the lack of policy on lone-actor terrorism: the lack of a generally accepted definition of lone-actor terrorism and the current government push to create laws and policies to combat terrorist attacks by large violent groups.
