We compiled a database of 439 perpetrators involved in 245 jihadist-linked attacks in the West. We found:
- Those radicalised offline were more likely to succeed and more lethal than those radicalised online
- Online radicalisation increasing for younger generations

In a new @GNET_research report, @NafeesHamid and @CrisAriza_C explore the differences in outcomes for those who have been primarily radicalised offline versus those radicalised online. You can read the full report here: https://t.co/evo9eS2Kav
@BeaconRosie I’m a huge fan of Cubitts - not sure if you’ve tried them, but it comes to £150 lenses included for most prescription (and no paying any extras for anti glare etc, which should be a given). And the lenses are Zeiss!
Great report teasing out online/offline dimensions in processes of radicalization by @NafeesHamid & @CrisAriza_C for @GNET_research. Big takeaways; online dimensions are important, but do not discount the offline, real world socialization process

"Our findings show that the primary threat still comes from those who have been radicalised offline. [They] are greater in number, better at evading detection by security officials, more likely to complete a terrorist attack successfully and more deadly when they do so."
We investigated every known jihadist attack (successful & thwarted) from 2014-2021 in 8 western countries. 439 cases across 245 attacks/plots.
Those radicalised offline are greater in number, more successful in completing attacks and more deadly than those radicalised online.

I have thought hard about sharing this story firstly because it feels quite personal and secondly because this stuff happens every day and probably seems very trivial to many. But anyway here is my story of what happened on the tube early yesterday morning (1/10)
.@CrisAriza_C & I created a database of every known jihadist attack & plot from 2014-2021 in 8 western countries. That’s 439 people in 245 attacks/plots. We asked “was there differences in outcomes between those radicalised online vs offline?” Join the report launch to find out.
Today the children were playing ‘coronavirus’ 🦠
It’s basically ‘stuck in the mud’ but when you tag someone you have to shout ‘isolate’ and you free someone by tapping them while shouting ‘vaccinate’ 😂
