Behind every act of lone actor violence lies a web of personal, social, and ideological influences.

 

Consultant forensic psychologist Dr Nathan Brooks explores these dynamics in his book Mass Casualty: The Rise of Lone Actors, drawing on research and real-world cases to examine prevention and response strategies.

 

He joins us on this episode of Australian True Crime with guest host and Criminologist Dr Xanthé Mallett.
