How to spot someone planning a mass attack: Ian Cherrington Pt. 2

About this episode

Ian Cherrington discusses the steps and warning signs of planning a mass attack in his conversation with Gary Jubelin.

What are the steps a lone actor takes when preparing a violent attack? Can they be stopped? In Part 2 of forensic psychologist turned detective Ian Cherrington’s chat with Gary Jubelin on I Catch Killers, Ian unpacks warning signs and ‘leakage’ that suggest planning is underway.  Ian shares practical ways to support people showing early extremist views, and explains how lone actors differ from the ‘sovereign citizen’ movement.
