Description
Summary:This paper examines the effectiveness of urban security policies in countering lone-wolf terrorism threats within the European Union. The research evaluates the implementation and impact of preventive security strategies in major European cities, particularly in response to individual terrorist attacks over the past decade. The study aims to assess how urban security frameworks have adapted to the increasing phenomenon of radicalized individuals acting independently. The analysis is based on case studies from Western European countries, such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. It considers policy measures including surveillance systems, counterradicalization programs, and rapid response units. The findings highlight both the strengths and vulnerabilities of the current urban security structure in mitigating lone-wolf terrorism.
