Lone Wolf Terrorism
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the insights that might be generated into the nature of 'lone wolf terrorism' through the application of economic analysis. Orthodox approaches, particularly (standard) expected utility analysis and game theoretical analysis, are discussed. These tools prove useful in developing preliminary or 'first order' insights. The lone wolf terrorist exhibits a number of idiosyncrasies that present challenges to both economic analysis and government security policy. An alternative analytical framework is constructed wherein a terroristic agent makes choices on the basis of a preference ordering constructed over two moments of the distribution (measured in terms of fatalities generated by terrorist attacks). Seven predictions are yielded from the mean-variance theoretical framework and numerical estimates are computed as preliminary steps towards the full exploration of the implications of the framework. Most importantly, depending on their level of risk aversion (or risk seeking behaviour), lone wolves are expected to predominantly choose assassination, armed attack, bombing, hostage taking or unconventional attacks. Furthermore, within a range of between one and two standard deviations from the mean, it is possible that the quadratic utility function will reach a maximum. Following attacks of a certain magnitude (in terms of fatalities), it might be expected that the lone wolf will withdraw from activity for a period of time. This analytical approach may assist governments and security agencies facing the threat of lone wolf terrorism
La figure de Peter Pan ou le refus du corps vécu : de la clinique du vide dans la mélancolie
No full textNational audienceA phenomenological and psychoanalytical approach of the novels' person Peter Pan and the circumstances of the creation by the author in studying the analogies between the biographical elements of the author and splitting in different persons in the novel but also in Peter Pan himself. The infantile drama of the child being rejected by his mother because of the death of a former child, his brother, enacting psychical fragmentation up to experience annihilationUne approche phénoménologique et psychanalytique du personnage romanesque de Peter Pan et les circonstances de création par son auteur en effectuant des analogies entre les éléments biographiques de l'auteur et les clivages des personnages du roman mais aussi du personnage Peter Pan en lui-même. Le drame infantile du rejet de l'enfant par la mère suite au décès d'un enfant lui précédant, le frère, donne ici lieu à des fragmentations psychiques jusqu'au vécu de l'anéantissement
A general framework for multiple - recapture estimation that incorporates linkage error correction
No full textThe size of a partly observed population is often estimated with the capture – recapture (for two sources) or multiple – recapture (for multiple sources) estimation method. An important assumption of these models is that records in different sources can be identified such that it is known whether these records belong to the same unit or not, i.e. records can be perfectly linked between sources. This assumption of perfect linkage is of particular relevance if identification is not obtained by some perfect identifier (like a tag or id-code) but by indirect identifiers (like name and address or animal’s skin patterns). In that case the perfect linkage assumption is often violated, which in general leads to biased population size estimates. A solution to this problem was provided by Ding and Fienberg (1994), Di Consiglio and Tuoto (2015) and De Wolf et al. (2018). These authors show how to use linkage probabilities to correct the capture - recapture estimator for linkage errors. Recently, Di Consiglio and Tuoto (2018) extended their method to three sources. In this paper we provide a general framework that allows us to extend this work further in two ways. First, we extend this work further to any number of sources. Second, our framework allows to incorporate covariates in a better way. We do this by generalising the standard log - linear modelling approach used in multiple - recapture estimation such that it incorporates linkage error correction. We show how the method performs in a simulation studywith data that resemble real data.<br/
The lone wolf terrorist: sprees of violence
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to apply economic science to the analysis of the opportunities and choices of single individual 'lone wolf' terrorists whose attacks are characterised by 'sprees' of violence that last only for a relatively short period of time. Unlike 'serial' lone wolves who engage in violent terrorism over a prolonged period of time and unlike those lone wolves who engage in a single crudely planned terrorist attack and are apprehended without inflicting significant injuries or fatalities, the attacks of spree lone wolves are concentrated in a very short period of time, perhaps no longer than several days and sometimes as little as a few hours, and may generate significant levels of human tragedy. The spree lone wolf also emerges suddenly. Having previously allocated no resources to violent terrorism, he suddenly and all at once allocates 100 percent of his resources, including time, to violent terrorism. The first step to providing guidance to governments and their security and law enforcement agencies is to encompass some important elements of the spree lone wolf's opportunities and choices within an economic analytical framework. The first steps towards this encompassment are undertaken in this paper by exploring the opportunities and choices of the spree lone wolf from a risk-reward perspective and a treatment of the spree lone wolf as an individual who, while attempting to maximise his expected utility, shuns the risk-reduction benefits of 'time diversification' and suddenly plunges all of his resources into violent terrorism within a single time period
