The following analysis introduces a detailed discussion of the epistemology of the present-day lone wolf terror phenomenon; in turn, providing critical insights into practicable preventative measures to counter this accelerating global development. Through an objective study of the limited, but compelling threads of commonality observable as a general rule of lone wolf styled attacks, preemptive security procedures can be successfully implemented within law enforcement operations. Such possibilities are based on a basic key indicator profiling of the lone wolf actor with greater emphasis placed on the cohesive modus operandi prior to the attack itself – a traceable cycle of behaviors irrespective of religious, political and personal influences framed in the virtual society of the 21st Century.
