In some recent cases of lone-actor terrorism, there is evidence the subject acted impulsively, often in response to a triggering event which contained a loss and humiliation. Evidence suggests the subjects acted precipitously, despite planning and preparation carried out in the preceding weeks or months, and their attacks failed to include the often considerable preparation that had been done. The pathway became a runway. The authors recommend the traditional assessment of impulsivity in persons of concern for lone acts of terrorism, as well as other proximal warning behaviors for targeted violence. Both indirect and direct assessment guidelines are proposed, with an emphasis upon self-report, psychological testing, collateral data gathering, and historical records.
在近期一些独狼式恐怖主义案件中，有证据表明作案者行为冲动，往往是对包含损失和羞辱的触发事件做出反应。证据显示，尽管作案者在前几周或几个月进行了策划和准备，但他们行动仓促，其袭击并未包含此前已做的大量准备工作。过程变成了一场仓促行动。作者建议对可能实施独狼式恐怖主义行为的人进行传统的冲动性评估，以及对有针对性暴力的其他近期预警行为进行评估。文中提出了间接和直接评估指南，重点是自我报告、心理测试、旁证数据收集和历史记录。
