It discusses online and offline (de-)radicalisation patterns by examining the respective roles of online narratives disseminated primarily through social media platforms and peer-group socialisation, as well as the relevance of traditional offline media. The findings show how the distribution of radicalising narratives evolves between online and offline communication and information channels.
