Dr Paul Gill, from UCL, a SME on terrorism, has a short article which is:
a breakdown on eight things terrorists consider when making a planning an attack, from an analysis of over 80 terrorist autobiographiesLink:https://crestresearch.ac.uk/comment/terrorist-decision-making/
The 'eight lessons' are: Terrorist planning, Risk factor, Picking a target, Internal feelings, Finding the weakest link, Nerves and confidence, Perceptions of security and Past experience.
On a link he explains the project in a video clip (3 mins) and writes:
This project will start to build a better understanding of how terrorists make judgements about risk and security, and how this informs their actions (e.g., operational security measures, targeting decisions, hostile reconnaissance). As this is a relatively new area of academic inquiry, the team will start with the criminological literature to develop hypotheses, which will then be tested against two data sets.Link:https://crestresearch.ac.uk/projects/terrorist-decision-making/
Curiously he refers to 100 autobiographies, but the end result used eighty.
The author has another thread How do you spot a terrorist:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/showthread.php?t=22501 , with views 20.4k views - which indicates his value.
