How do people become terrorists? How can they be stopped? Prof. Neumann, Director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation, King's College London, presents an overview of the radicalisation process. Using Western homegrown terrorism as an example, this presentation shows what contribution data analytics, especially Palantir, can make to disrupting the process. It also touches on challenges and unsolved problems, especially internet-driven radicalisation processes and 'lone wolf' attacks.
