Meow everyone. So far, we looked at some of the people who both directly , and indirectly radicalize students . I have shown the level of danger these radicalized student can pose, ranging from rioting, to outright advocating for murder . However, one area that one cannot discount is that since students are very tech savey , students are exposed to other forms of radicalization, that, can be geared specific to their interests.
Computer and smartphone technology has come a very long way in a short time, and law enforcement , while doing a good job in keeping fairly up to date with the technological progress, are still, for the most part, playing catch up. This link shows the level of sophistication used by terrorist organization to recruit people, as well as pass along information to their followers.
Law enforcement needs to pay attention to these new technologies far more closely . The next terrorist act may be the one announced in these so called smart phone apps.
