Intro slide of a SCENOR Fact vs Fiction carousel. On a light blue background, the SCENOR logo appears above the title “FACT VS FICTION.” A white text box states: “Only jihadist actors threaten EU security.”

Slide labelled “FACT.” The text explains that jihadist terrorism remained the most lethal terrorist threat in the EU in 2024, but the EU threat picture also included right-wing, left-wing and anarchist, ethno-nationalist and separatist, and other or unspecified actors. Source cited: EU TE-SAT 2025.

Slide titled “WHY IT MATTERS.” The text explains that threat assessments focused too narrowly on one ideological strand can miss attack planning, mobilisation patterns, propaganda ecosystems, and recruitment signals linked to other actor types, creating blind spots in monitoring, prioritisation, prevention, and resource allocation.

Final slide titled “FURTHER READING.” It directs readers to www.scenor.at for research and briefings and www.extremismus.info for German explainers and sources. At the bottom, the slide asks: “Which claim should we test next?”

A short look at the EU threat landscape and why narrow assumptions can matter.

Introductory slide with the SCENOR – The Science Crew logo and the title “FACT VS FICTION”. Subheading states: “Debunking myths about extremism, terrorism and more.” Neutral blue-grey background with minimal graphic elements.

Slide titled “FICTION”. Text states: “Deradicalisation programmes do not work and fail to prevent reoffending.” Clean layout with a white text box on a blue-grey background and a visual cue to swipe for the fact.

Slide titled “FACT”. Text explains that deradicalisation does not require full ideological change to be effective. It highlights risk reduction through disengagement from violence, weakening harmful networks, and improved social functioning. Source cited: RAN Rehabilitation Manual.

Slide titled “WHY IT MATTERS”. Text explains that judging success only by belief change creates blind spots in policy and practice. It stresses assessing outcomes based on reduced risk, sustained disengagement, and social reintegration rather than ideological transformation alone.

NEW FACT VS FICTION EDITION

What does research really tell us about deradicalisation and how success should be understood in prevention work?

Cover slide with SCENOR logo and the title “Fact vs Fiction”. Subtitle reads “Debunking myths about extremism, terrorism and more”. Clean blue background with handwritten orange accent text.

Slide labelled “Fiction”. Text states: “Women play only marginal roles in extremist movements.” White text box on blue background with a swipe indicator pointing to the next slide.

Slide labelled “Fact”. Text explains that research shows women participate in extremist movements in diverse ways, including propaganda, online mobilisation, logistics, recruitment, financing, and sometimes violence. Source noted as GWU Program on Extremism.

Slide labelled “Why it matters”. Text explains that assuming women are marginal can create blind spots in prevention, risk assessment, and disengagement, and that effective interventions must consider gendered roles, motivations, and pathways.

WOMEN AND EXTREMISM ARE OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD.

This FACT vs FICTION edition explains why this matters for understanding and preventing extremist mobilisation.

Grey-blue cover slide with the title FACT vs FICTION and the subtitle Debunking myths about extremism, terrorism and more, with the SCENOR logo above and handwritten orange text below.

Grey-blue slide labelled Fiction showing the statement: Deplatforming extremist content on social media always backfires by boosting extremists elsewhere.

Grey-blue slide labelled Fact showing the statement: Account removals tend to reduce reach and engagement on major platforms. Some migration occurs, but net visibility typically declines. Includes a small note reading: Source: SCENOR data & PNAS Nexus.

Grey-blue slide titled Why it matters presenting an explanation that overall visibility declines after account removals, but remaining discussions can become more radical. Notes that deplatforming is most effective when paired with analytical capacity to follow high-risk users across platforms.

New FACT vs FICTION edition: evidence on how account removals affect extremist visibility across platforms.
