Toward a Framework Understanding of Online Programs for Countering Violent Extremism

Dr. Quirine Eijkman, January 2012

Summary

In the fight against terrorism technology is a powerful tool. However, as the European Group of Personalities in the field of Security stated “technology itself cannot guarantee security, but security without the support of technology is impossible” (European Communities, 2004, p.12). This quote illustrates how on the one hand information and communications technology (ICT), biotechnology, neuroscience and nanotechnology contribute to the development of important counter-terrorist strategies and on the other hand that we should be realistic about their impact.
