Approaches to online radicalisation: Current findings and emerging research

Over the past 2 decades, there has been an increase in extremist activity on the internet, with online domains leveraged to distribute content by extremist groups, and to call for violence in the name of social, political and religious ideologies. While the internet offers a virtual gathering space for like-minded individuals to discuss extremist ideologies, evidence suggests it has not entirely supplanted in-person contact in the radicalisation process. Ultimately, the role of the internet in radicalisation is not well understood. Presented by Dr Timothy Cubitt from the Australian Institute of Criminology, this presentation explores the role of the online domains, findings of emerging research, and research currently underway into the role of the internet in radicalisation.
