“…The key motivational driver behind lone-actor grievance-fueled violence highlighted by the literature is, namely, some form of grievance, that is, the experience of perceived injustice, degradation or humiliation (Katon et al, 2020;Meloy & Gill, 2016;Silver et al, 2019). Grievances can be personal, i.e.…”

The purpose of this systematic review is to identify risk factors associated with lone-actor grievance-fueled violence. In this paper, I focus on five violent lone-actor "types"; lone-actor terrorists, workplace attackers, school shooters, rampage shooters and violent Incels. Data synthesis of the 78 included studies led to the identification of nine risk factors: 1) sociodemographic background; 2) social ties; 3) interpersonal rejection; 4) mental illness; 5) subclinical personality traits; 6) strain; 7) grievances; 8) emotional traits and states; and 9) cognitive processes and content. As a limitation of the extant literature is the lack of a coherent and integrative framework of how each factor relates to the others, findings were re-synthesized to show how risk factors essentially reflect five generic social and psychological mechanisms of radicalization: socialization, small-group dynamics, psychological need restoration, mental health from a dimensional perspective, and mechanisms of moral disengagement. The paper ends with a discussion of this framework and its implications for future research on lone-actor grievance-fueled violence.

This work proposes a framework integrating AI technologies and tools to assist micro and small hosting service providers (HSPs) in adhering to the terrorist content online (TCO) Regulation. The framework encompasses: (i) a suite of AI tools for the automated detection and removal of TCO, (ii) a federated learning infrastructure for (re-)training and testing the underlying AI models, (iii) a secure shared hash repository to facilitate the automated prevention of uploading subversive content to HSP platforms, and (iv) a unified reporting mechanism to support the submission of removal orders by competent authorities. The proposed framework is being developed in the context of the ALLIES project in a user-driven manner based on the requirements of HSP and law enforcement agency (LEA) personnel. In addition, its development is guided by a desktop and empirical study on the landscape of online radicalisation, extremism conducted by domain experts. Overall, this framework is envisaged to support micro and small HSPs and protect their platforms from terrorist abuse in an efficient and cost-effective way.
