Lone-wolf attacks
Lone-wolf attacks refer to acts of violence committed by individuals acting independently rather than as part of a larger group or organization. These attackers often plan and execute their actions on their own, motivated by personal beliefs, grievances, or ideologies. While they may share views with extremist groups, they do not have direct ties or receive support from them. Lone-wolf attacks can vary widely in scale and method, often targeting public places. Understanding this type of attack is important for developing strategies to prevent and respond to such incidents effectively.
