//Thread on #Loneactor #terrorism #research // Over the past couple of months, my colleagues in the #EU @Prime_FP7 project (incl. @noemie_bouhana @paulgill_ucl @LasseLindekilde @MonageaFrancis) and I published a series of articles on lone actor terrorism.
"most lone actors not stealthy", "leak motives and plans" sounds like selection bias. Your sample only included those who were caught and were therefore less competent in keeping their plans secret.

Also included many (probably a majority) successfully executed attacks in the analysis. They are all there in a table.

I still think there is a general problem of sampling in that you can only profile those who are caught (even if it's only after they carry out their attack). Even so, it was an interesting study, so thanks.
