Mapping Isolated Trajectories to Extremist Violence
Not all radicalization happens in groups. This session explores how isolation, status loss, and identity breakdown contribute to lone actor extremism. We will explore how personal grievance evolves into ideological violence, how suicide risk and aggression can intersect, and what warning signs may appear before action is taken. The session draws from research at the intersection of extremism, mental health, and male grievance.
