The CCP virus pandemic, social isolation, and a rise in extremist content online are contributing to a “perfect storm” that is making more young people susceptible to radicalisation, British police warned on Wednesday.
Between Jan. 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, 17 children, some as young as 14 years old, were arrested in relation to terrorism offences, nearly all of whom had been radicalised entirely online, the UK’s anti-terrorism police revealed.
