Lone Actor Attacks
Lone actor attacks refer to violent acts committed by individuals acting independently, rather than as part of a larger group or organization. These attacks can occur in various forms, including mass shootings, bombings, or other violent incidents, often motivated by personal grievances, ideological beliefs, or mental health issues.
Such attacks have gained attention in recent years due to their unpredictability and the challenges they pose for law enforcement. Unlike organized terrorism, which involves coordinated efforts by groups like ISIS or Al-Qaeda, lone actor attacks are typically harder to detect and prevent, making them a significant concern for public safety.
