- W2245088660 abstract "Violent extremism and radicalization as the pathway leading up to violent extremism are hot topics worldwide. Scientific researchers and policy makers increasingly focus on unraveling the process of radicalization and the causes of violent extremism in order to develop more effective prevention strategies. The rapid development of the internet and the constant creation of new technologies is complicating this task. Especially new social media are giving rise to the concern that (self)radicalization and recruitment for violent extremism will rise under influence of the internet, due to the unprecedented ease at which they facilitate communication and information sharing, dismissing time and space. In this regard it is problematic that there is hardly any empirical evidence confirming the influence of online radical content on radicalization. The present study aims at gaining insight in the relationship between new social media and violent extremism. It is assessed to what extent different measure of exposure to extremist content through new social media are related to self-reported political vandalism and political violence, among adolescents and young adults, controlling for other known risk factors. Data have been gathered using 1) a paper and pencil study among high school students in Antwerp and Liege and 2) a web survey targeting youths between 16 and 24 years old in Flanders and Wallonie. A total of 6020 respondents make up the dataset. Binary logistic regression is used to analyze the data. Results suggest that in fact there is a positive statistical significant effect of exposure to radical content through NSM on both political vandalism and political violence. However, the most persistent effects are found for those measures where individuals actively seek out extremist content on the internet as opposed to passive and accidental encounters using NSM. This suggest that an already existing, online formed, interest in violent extremism, pushes young people to search for certain information using NSM, which in turn further influences them in the direction of violent extremism. So although NSM is a facilitator for the occurrence of violent extremism, it is unlikely that passively encountering radical content using NSM will lead to violent extremism without underlying real life motivation. In order to transcend the mere enumeration of risk factors, diffusing rather than clarifying the field, the results will be integrated into an integrated model explaining violent extremism, using the framework of the situational action theory." @default.
