Is the Lone Perpetrator Really Alone?

Absztrakt

As a consequence of the terrorist attacks of the past years the expressions “lone perpetrator, the lone terrorist, or the love wolf” have become part of the public conscience as an organic component of terror. At the same time the more similar acts – considered terrorist attacks – happen the clearer it becomes that the perpetrators classified to be from the same group significantly differ from each other. It is reasonable to question whether the lone perpetrators are really alone. Or perhaps a part of the criminals called lone perpetrators are not alone in fact and they fit in a different system of criteria?
