‘I DID MY BIT’: TERRORISM, TARDE AND THE VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK AS AN IMITATIVE EVENT is a study that examines vehicle ramming attacks from a sociological perspective.

Written by Vincent Miller and Keith J. Hayward, the paper explores the phenomenon of vehicle ramming as an imitative event.

The authors analyze 125 incidents between 1999 and 2017, highlighting the virus-like quality of these attacks.

The research emphasizes the wide ideological diversity among perpetrators, challenging the notion that vehicle ramming is solely a jihadist tactic.

The paper also delves into the social contagion aspect of these attacks, noting their tendency to cluster together in time.

The authors provide insights into the factors that contribute to the spread of vehicle ramming as a form of terror attack.
