Mark S. Hamm and Ramón Spaaij combine criminological theory with empirical and ethnographic research to map lone-wolf radicalization, helping with the identification of suspected individuals and recognizing patterns of indoctrination. A combination of personal and political grievances lead lone wolves to befriend online sympathizers.
