So, I wanted to search how terrorism has a socio-behavioral aspect to creating these heinous acts over the years. The article aims at why some acts are seemingly spontaneous in their actions, consider a case, a terrorist named Sean Urbanski unlike other ideological camps that recruit and prepare terrorist with ideology, the far-right has not seen that kind of gradual 'emergence'. This article tries to explain why these far-right wing terrorist are not like the 'norm' ideological groups.

To a degree that they don't seem spontaneous is that these kinds of hate groups are represented some what in the political spectrum of whites being endangered by immigrants which leads to hate against immigrants, and interracial marriage and such (Sweeney, M. 2018).

This is all socio-behavioral in that many of them are indoctrinated into this type of thinking much like jihadist groups. The study picks out socio-demographics, socioeconomic, and personality traits that are more likely to lead them into violence and become part of the group.

The second agenda this group tend to hold onto is a anti-government and regulation 'status' which put them in a strata of an actual movement in politics. So what is the difference between spontaneous acts of terrorism and planned? Socio-demographics with places that carried certain values and kept the person's political ideology.Overall they coded 50 variables related to terrorists.

Demographics

So what does the data say? Through statistics the study found that spontaneous actors are statically significantly younger and less educated and less likely to be married. "to conclude, spontaneous perpetrators seem to come from a lower soci-economic background as they are also younger and less educated and more prone to be unemployed... " In conclusion I think the younger and the more naive a person is contributes to the influence that their peers can have on them and therefore they do these acts of terror.
