Understanding Lone Actor Terrorism Past Experience Future Outlook and Response Strategies

This volume examines the lone actor terrorist phenomenon including the larger societal trends which may or may not have led to their acts of terrorism. With lone actor terrorism becoming an increasingly common threat the contributors to this volume aim to answer the following questions: What drives the actions of individuals who become lone actor terrorists? Are ideological and cultural issues key factors or are personal psychological motives more useful in assessing the threat? Do lone actors evolve in a broader social context or are they primarily fixated loners? What response strategies are available to security services and law enforcement? What is the future outlook for this particular terrorist threat? Although these issues are frequently discussed few books have taken a global perspective as their primary focus. While many books focus on lone actor terrorists in relation to terrorist groups such as Al-Qaida and the Islamic State few if any cover lone actors of all ideological backgrounds including the variants of active shooters and malicious insiders in information security such as Edward Snowden – with both of these latter categories constituting an important variant of lone actors. Utilising the expertise of academics and practitioners the volume offers a valuable multidisciplinary perspective. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism political violence criminology security studies and IR. | Understanding Lone Actor Terrorism Past Experience Future Outlook and Response Strategies

Lone Mothers Between Paid Work and Care The Policy Regime in Twenty Countries

This title was first published in 2000. This is a study which compares and contrasts how lone mothers' relationships to paid work and care-giving are constructed across 20 countries and with what outcomes for lone mothers' levels of economic well-being. In doing so the book explores from an international perspective the implications of the re-orientation of lone mothers' citizenship within the UK policy field from that of care-giver to paid worker. The volume engages with feminist comparative social policy literature concerned with specifying a construction of citizenship appropriate to capturing international variations in women's social rights. By incorporating social rights attached to paid work and care as well as those which enable lone mothers to move between sequential periods of paid work and care-giving across the child-rearing cycle the study makes a significant contribution to the literature. | Lone Mothers Between Paid Work and Care The Policy Regime in Twenty Countries
