and workplace shootings. Mass Casualty: The Rise of Lone Actors unravels the complexities
behind these tragedies, delving into the motivations of perpetrators and the societal forces
that shape them.
Drawing on the latest research and real-life cases, this book examines the interplay of
personal, social, and ideological factors that drive lone actors. It explores the latest prevention
strategies employed by law enforcement, mental health professionals, and policymakers to
mitigate the risk of future attacks.
Through a thoughtful analysis of case studies, Mass Casualty raises critical questions about
the roots of violence: How does childhood upbringing shape pathways to harm? What role
does societal culture and technology play in fostering violent behaviour? This thoughtful
analysis offers readers a comprehensive understanding of lone actor violence, alongside
practical strategies to address its prevention, response, and aftermath.
Reviews for Mass Casualty
"Dr. Nathan Brooks has written a very important book which builds a bridge between our
knowledge of lone actors and the public's fascination and hunger to understand them.
Through his work, he offers us a clear vision and a comprehensive understanding of these
very troubled and troubling actors who wreak havoc, striking seemingly at random, but
changing the course of many lives."
J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., Forensic Psychologist, Consultant to the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit,
and Developer of the TRAP-18.
“With Mass Casualty: The Rise of Lone Actors, Nathan Brooks stakes his rightful place
among practitioner-scholars striving to fuller understand and thus prevent unspeakable mass
violence. Written in an accessible style, Brooks brings life to the wide- ranging cases he
explores, drawing as well from disciplines outside the usual threat assessment literature,
adding richness to his story-telling and insights.”
Stephen White, Ph.D., Psychologist, Former President of Work Trauma Services Inc., and Co-
Developer of The WAVR-21
“In this vital and unflinching contribution to the field, Dr. Nathan Brooks offers a deeply informed and globally relevant examination of mass casualty attacks. Drawing on empirical research and clinical insight, he dissects the psychological, social, and behavioral patterns that underpin some of the most complex and devastating acts of violence in modern society. Best of all, he separates the book into two parts: Path to Violence and The Search for Answers. This book is both timely and essential — not only for forensic professionals and law enforcement, but for anyone seeking to understand the darker undercurrents of human behavior. Frankly, it’s the kind of book I wish I’d written myself. Dr. Brooks writes with clarity, precision, and compassion. A must-read.”
S/Sgt. Matt Logan, Ph.D. (Ret’d), Criminal Investigative Psychologist, Royal Canadian Mounted Police
