Science workshop looks at how to identify terrorist behaviour
17 March 2010
1 MIN READ
On 19 and 20 March, an advanced research workshop in Milan, Italy, will bring together scientists to identify signs that may help in predicting when young European immigrants turn towards terrorism.
The participating scientists come from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, behavioural sciences, cultural studies, psychology and economy. They will look at the motivations that can encourage a hostile and resentful attitude and aggressive behaviours toward modern society and culture in young European immigrants.
Possible research methods that could help to identify terrorism predictors will be discussed, and the best instruments for data collection, database location and data analysis will be determined.
The event will bring together 28 speakers from Denmark, France, Italy, Israel, Jordan, the Netherlands, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdomand the United States, as well as from international organizations, such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
Lectures will address the economic consequences of emigration from Turkey and to Turkey, radicalisation as a constructive choice, and factors inducing a person to support or join an Islamist group.
The experts will also look into best practices for integration that, on one hand, respect the immigrants’ background, while on the other hand, encourage the learning of European languages, culture and democratic systems, ideally from their first day in Europe.
The event’s contributions and conclusions will eventually be published as a book under NATO’s Science for Peace and Security series.
