Abstract

Lone wolf terrorism is terrorism committed by individuals without direct affiliation with large terrorist organizations. This phenomenon is increasingly worrying in various countries, including Indonesia. Attacks by self-radicalized individuals have a different pattern from conventional terrorism, as the perpetrators act alone and are difficult to detect by security forces. In Indonesia, the increase in Lone Wolf terrorism cases in recent years is due to the easy access to the internet and social media that spread radicalism. The city of Surabaya came under scrutiny after the terrorist attacks in May 2018, where several acts were linked to large networks such as Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD). The government and local communities, such as the Community of Peace Fighters, have tried to prevent radicalization through deradicalization programs and monitoring of vulnerable individuals. However, the individualistic and disorganized nature of lone wolf terrorism makes it difficult to anticipate. This research aims to identify patterns of radicalization that can give rise to lone terrorists, who are not directly affiliated with terrorist groups. The method used is interdisciplinary legal research with a qualitative approach, which was carried out at the Surabaya Peace Fighters Community, which is under the guidance of the Special Da'wah Institute (LDK) of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) of East Java. The results of this study show that there are so many external factors that make a person radicalized. One of them is ideological factors, social conditions, structural injustices that encourage them to rebel, and the most powerful is the understanding that radical actions are justified by religious teachings (Islam).

Abstract

This paper examines the integrative potential of legislative, rehabilitative, and educational strategies in Malaysia’s counter-terrorism policy, particularly within the framework of Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE). The main problem addressed is the fragmented implementation of these three pillars, which often operate in isolation despite their complementary roles. The objective of this study is to analyze how these strategies interact, and to assess the extent to which Malaysia’s PCVE framework aligns with integrative models applied in other regions, such as South Asia and Latin America. Employing a qualitative literature-based method, the study draws from official policy documents, academic research, and comparative analysis to explore institutional strengths, implementation gaps, and strategic opportunities. The findings show that while Malaysia has developed a comprehensive legal and institutional infrastructure, coordination among state actors and involvement of civil society remain limited. The comparison reveals that inclusive governance and cross-sector collaboration significantly enhance the effectiveness of counter-terrorism efforts. The paper concludes that Malaysia’s PCVE strategy would benefit from a more interconnected approach that emphasizes transparency, participatory frameworks, and education-driven resilience. These insights offer valuable contributions to the refinement of Malaysia’s national security strategy and provide broader implications for sustainable and rights-based counter-terrorism policies globally

Abstract

This study addresses the growing challenge of terrorist recruitment and radicalization via social media by mapping scholarly activity and thematic evolution in this field. Its objective is to identify publication trends and key research themes related to digital extremism from 2015 to 2025. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 416 Scopus-indexed articles, employing VOSviewer and Bibliometrix to generate co‑occurrence networks and thematic evolution maps. Results reveal a marked increase in research output since 2017 peaking in 2020 amid heightened online engagement during the COVID‑19 pandemic and a geographic concentration of authorship in the United States and the United Kingdom, with limited contributions from regions most affected by terrorism, such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Thematic analysis indicates a shift from early studies on propaganda dissemination (2015–2018) to advanced examinations of algorithmic radicalization, AI‑enabled recruitment, encrypted coordination, and emerging threats like deepfake propaganda (2019–2025). We conclude that effective countermeasures require proactive, multidisciplinary strategies, including community‑based interventions targeting socio‑psychological vulnerabilities, cross‑platform regulatory cooperation, and AI‑driven content moderation. This framework underscores the necessity of integrating technological, psychological, and policy perspectives to counter evolving digital radicalization.
