Key findings

RiskTrack is developed in two different phases. On the one hand, scientists and terrorism experts will define the risk factors for radicalization, in order to make an accurate assessment of a potentially radicalized individual. The other phase involves two groups of engineers that will have to translate all the information into actual software. This software will be used to evaluate social profiles on the Internet in order to measure the potential risk of radicalization. It is considered an excellent tool to evaluate the risk of radicalisation within social media, but it is still underdeveloped.
