Consumed by Conspiracy? The Individual and Social Risk Factors for Radicalisation
Misinformation and conspiracy theories can be disruptive to a democracy. A small group of conspiracy thinkers justifies the use of violence in support of their conspiracy beliefs. This project focuses on the youth in this group (16-to-25-years-old). What makes them vulnerable to conspiracy-radicalisation? And what can we do about it?
