TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Far-right lone wolf homicides in the United States JO - Studies in conflict and terrorism A1 - Gruenewald, Jeff A1 - Chermak, Steven A1 - Freilich, Joshua D. SP - 1005 EP - 1024 VL - 36 IS - 12 N2 - Little is known about the nature of far-right lone wolf terrorism and how this form of violence varies across different types of suspects. Relying on data from the Extremist Crime Database (ECDB), we comparatively examine characteristics of far-right homicides in the United States perpetrated by suspects with no evident affiliations with domestic terrorist organizations. Surprisingly, we found that this form of lone wolf terrorism has generally not increased during the past decade. We also found important differences, such as in suspects' mental health, in statuses of homicide offenders who operate alone compared to those who associate or act with others.
