The reports presented here concern the role of the Internet and social media in processes of self-radicalisation. The term self-radicalisation refers to a type of radicalisation process that designates the radicalising individual as the instigator of the process. The DARE study investigates self-radicalisation specifically in relation to the role of participatory media in the process. In line with the dual focus of the DARE project as a whole, this study is concerned with the role of participatory media in the self-radicalisation of people identifying as supporters of i) radical Islamist and ii) anti-Islam(ist) or wider far right groups. The findings of this work are presented through an introduction and 7 National Reports covering: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. A cross-national report and a policy brief building on these reports are also available.
