Nazist och autist - men ingen terrorist? En fallstudie med TRAP-18

Sammanfattning: This study investigates how the TRAP-18 instrument can be used to identify and prioritize threats from lone actor terrorists by applying the framework on a case of a Swedish man convicted of weapons offenses and crimes against the law on flammable and explosive substances. This case is a contribution to the increasing number of studies using TRAP-18, due to the fact that the individual studied is not convicted of, or has committed, any act of terrorism. The study finds that the perpetrator fulfils a majority of the indicators of TRAP-18, and that TRAP-18 could be a useful tool for authorities to prioritize threats from lone actors. However, the authors of this study question the tool’s usefulness in identifying potential lone actor terrorists.
