The New Face of Online Extremism

Perspectives from an Interdisciplinary Field

About this book

The New Face of Online Extremism offers an overview of cutting-edge empirical research around the intersection of extremism and the internet and addresses the challenges and opportunities faced by researchers working on online extremism. While changing social and technological processes have facilitated novel uses of technology by extremists, the book highlights the capacity of these shifts to be utilized by academics to support innovative research.

This book brings together prominent contemporary contributors who examine several novel and under-researched expressions of online extremism, including crypto-financed, conspiracy, neo-Luddite, COVID-19, and Incel groups. The chapters address the challenges of contemporary online extremism research and provide insights for policymakers and regulators as well as ideas for future research.

The New Face of Online Extremism is an important contribution to evidence-based prevention and intervention programmes, and it is a key resource for students and scholars, as well as professionals working in security and social domains.
