Online Violent Radicalization (Over): Challenges facing Law Enforcement Agencies and Policy Stakeholders
Bruce McFarlane, January 2010
Summary
It is unquestionable that the internet has had a profound and dramatic impact on how we interact and communicate with each around the world. As consumers, we demand faster bandwidth speed, higher usage caps and increased connectivity to everyday items, ranging from mobile phones, gaming consoles to even refrigerators. We utilize the internet to conduct research, communicate with friends, manage businesses and network with likeminded individuals. Therefore it should be to no one’s surprise that the violent extremist utilizes the internet in much the same manner.
