Hi folks
I am looking into communications campaigns designed to encourage or facilitate exit from violent extremism or terrorism anywhere in the world. I would be really grateful for any pointers.

Fifty free copies of my TPV article "Using Deep Learning Neural Networks to Predict Violent Versus Nonviolent Extremist Behaviors." In it, my deep-learning model correctly predicted violent vs. non-violent offending among extremists in 94 percent of cases.

This is certainly worth a read - with some great contributors

A must read by the always excellent Donald Holbrook!

I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.
This is certainly worth checking out - ICYMI
🚨It's today! Don't miss out on this talk with @johnhorgan.bsky.social and @lbaum94.bsky.social
There's still time to join!

ICYMI, here is the FBI's (by way of BAU-1) new report, "Beyond Belief: Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism in America." An essential resource for analysts, researchers, and practitioners alike.

The long-anticipated #openaccess book from the FBI's BAU-1 has been released. I've already read it and can attest that it is a brilliant, comprehensive, and compelling resource that policymakers, practitioners and researchers alike will draw on for decades to come.

With all the recent discussions about communications campaigns in the PCVE space, I thought it would be a good time to re-up a study by myself, Yahye Abdi, @andrewglazzard.bsky.social, Abdullahi Ahmed Nor & Martine Zeuthen

We also found that the common distinction between counter & alternative narratives poorly reflects the content of comms designed to encourage/facilitate exits from al-Shabaab. We conclude the report with an alternative classification system that differentiates between the aims of comms campaigns
Communications with family members via phone conversations played a key role in influencing many exits. Contradicting the prevailing opinion among communications experts that state actors often lack credibility, political leaders also played a key role in influencing exits through radio broadcasts.
Given the scarcity of empirical data revealing the effectiveness of P/CVE communications campaigns generally, perhaps the most notable finding from this research was that all our respondents claimed that communications helped encourage their exit from al-Shabaab, with only one exception

Drug deliveries to fight the current mpox and Ebola outbreaks have been stopped, life-saving food lies rotting at African ports” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
