RAN Practitioners Update 119 | December 2023

Recent years have shown that violent extremists are adept at adopting, adapting and applying the latest in digital technology to radicalise and recruit online. Events surrounding the conflict in Gaza have demonstrated how digital technologies are being used by actors on all sides, including violent extremists, to create and spread powerful, engaging and polarising content to great effect.

With digital technology continuing to change and evolve apace, the online radicalisation and recruitment challenge is only going to become more profound. In this edition of the RAN Practitioners Update we take a look at some of these digital challenges and at some of the work being done by RAN Practitioners to address it.

To do this, the Update features the latest RAN Practitioners Spotlight magazine, the latest RAN Practitioners film, as well as recent RAN Practitioners papers on the topic.
