| Summary |
The overall goal of the project is to prevent and combat violent radicalization and extremism through a comprehensive study of individual behaviour in their family, social, and digital environment. To achieve its objectives, PERICLES will analyse different violent ideologies, with particular emphasis on the risks associated with violent propaganda on the internet. PERICLES aims to analyse the process leading to radicalization and its personal, family, and social implications. To do so, the project plans to develop a set of five tools for early detection, essential for social workers, law enforcement agencies, prison officials, as well as other professionals and family members in direct contact with individuals at risk of radicalization or who are already radicalized. |
