Résumé
"Precisely how may the acts of violence perpetrated by lone wolves be influenced by speech and media? This question is the primary concern of this project. One answer to this question may be found within "dangerous speech." The aim of this paper is to explore whether the concept of dangerous speech developed by Susan Benesch can be applied toward answering the question above. Since this is the first such attempt at joining dangerous speech to lone wolf terrorism, this exploration does not seek to produce a definitive answer or a series of concrete recommendations for developing future policy or research. The goal is to determine whether a connection can be made, not whether it should be used as a basis for any particular policy."--Page 2.
