Public facing strategic communication campaigns are now a mainstay in countering terrorism. Messaging campaigns have been used to encourage public reporting of suspicious behaviour, to reassure citizens, and to try and deter hostile behaviours. However, a recurring concern is that messaging about terrorism might have unintended consequences, such as boosting fear rather than reassurance. Fundamentally, ‘what works’ in designing and delivering effective and impactful public communications remains unclear. Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats funded research led by Charis Rice from the Protective Security Lab and Martin Innes from Cardiff University responds to the challenge of how to communicate effectively with the public about terrorism in an increasingly complex and fragmented information environment. https://lnkd.in/gM3g_NcZ

August 2021 was the unofficial "official" end of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and the United States has shifted its defensive strategy towards Great Power competition with China and Russia. With the current disturbances in the Middle and Near East, with Hamas, Hezbollah, and ISIS-K, terrorism is still a worldwide threat. The recent bombings in Pakistan yesterday and today have proven that fact. This report from Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a must read.

🔎 Conclusions from the conference on terrorism #riskassessment instruments in Milan, hosted by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and CounteR Project: ↪ It is important to use diverse tools for detecting radical content online, while a unified strategy is a must in the context of the transnational nature of terrorism threats.  ↪ #lawenforcement agencies need to cooperate more effectively. ↪ There exists a disparity between research efforts and the responsiveness of LEA authorities. A more rapid knowledge exchange is needed.  ↪ The utilization of platforms is imperative for the swift #knowledgetransfer from researchers to LEAs, since in most cases LEAs are staying behind of events. ▶ Check the full readout on CounteR's website. https://lnkd.in/dF-hh4Zi ✔ #horizoneurope Polícia Judiciária Insikt AI Hochschule für den öffentlichen Dienst in Bayern
