Not all young so radical for Medsos – VIVA

"On the network of Australian juvenile jihadists, very few, if any, examples" Shandon said.

Four Corners

Of the 116 Australian jihadists studied during the 17-year period, 109 people were found to have a real relationship in life.

While the Internet allows Australian teenagers to have relationships with people, the world's social networking platform serves as a space for echoing beliefs exist, but nothing indicates that the place is the cause of radicalization.

Shandon says it's time to stop blaming social networks for radicalizing youth into jihadists.

More women became "Jihadi"

Although Shandon found no women sentenced during the first two waves of jihad, some women were charged with offenses in some cases. last year.

"Women certainly play a more active role" In 2015, Fatima Elomar was arrested at Sydney Airport while she was traveling to Syria to join her terrorist husband, Mohammed Elomar.

March 2016, an accused teenager funded for fighting with the Islamic State and in February 2017, another teenager was arrested with her husband to prepare for a terrorist attack.

"Every woman involved is arrested while she is helping her wife or dad's help. Other family members in terrorist activities, "said Shandon. There is a reason why more arrests

It seems that the police seem to have led more raids and mbadive arrests of suspected terrorists in recent years, but condemned for less serious crimes. That's exactly what they do

In the recent jihadist, in the third wave, the police arrested more than eight times the number of suspects badociated with terrorist offenses, compared to the combined number of first and second wave

. a larger, more ambitious attack orchestrated by al-Qaeda-related groups, becomes a simpler plot of the Islamic State. Police read the trend

Police are under pressure to respond more quickly, even though suspects are charged with a less serious offense than they should, should they wait longer of evidence.

Looking at the sample for 17 years, the action of a single actor is very rare. Since the middle of 2014, the number of people who plan acts of violence has increased slightly

Terrorist attacks by isolated actors, such as Man Haron Monis, are unlikely to repeat themselves.

Statistically, they are far more likely to have mental illness than individuals who become drastically

Shadon says that the single actor is an exception to the standard in Australia and those who plan or commit acts of violence always have a close family or close personal relationships

"In the case of [insiden penyanderaan di Sydney oleh] Man Haron Monis, he is different from the majority of Australian terrorist suspects and should be considered different from normal groups. "

" The opportunity to see people like him is very rare. "

Just after Curtis Cheng's badbadination in 2015, 15-year-old Farhad Jabar , has been described as a single terrorist actor.

"Although he was considered a single actor, he" Shandon

"Socially connected to this group by people who go to school or grow up together, the police then tries to d & # 39; 39, to question his sister, but he has already been in contact with the other six accused of being related to the attack, leaving Australia to join the Islamic State

Moving to a Muslim's home is not "well understood"

Apart from teenagers and women, newly converted Islamic jihadists emerge as subgroups of the Australian terrorist network Shandon says that 1965, 8% of jihadists identified in the study were converts to Islam.

"There are a small number of new converts to Islam who engage in violent acts Shandon said, 19659005] "If we look in Western countries, those who convert to Islam include statistically in activities related to terrorism. "

In England, Aru converted to Islam represents only 2 to 3% of the Muslim population, 31% were involved in terrorism-related charges.

"What makes them more vulnerable, we do not understand well," said Shandon. These groups and develop programs and strategies to work with them, we can not treat the network as people with the same state of mind, which will all fit into one program. "

" We must separate adolescents from other groups

No special program to de-radicalize minors in detention

The emergence of adolescent terrorists in Australia poses a new challenge to Australian government.

In Australia, there is currently no special intervention program for terrorists in the juvenile justice system. [19659005] "We can not have a model that can be applied to all, where we have teenagers aged 14 to 16 in the same program as those in their late twenties with the same offense," he said. Shandon said.

"We have to work with young people to make sure that they do not develop the network by affecting people around them," he said, adding that it's not the only way to do it. attacking adolescent jihadists inside and outside the prison would affect jihadist networks in the future. Shandon.

"To be at the forefront of subsequent investigations and to prevent more people from engaging in networks and to minimize the influence of children k young people to raise and maintain the network from time to time."
