Deputy assistant commissioner Vicki Evans expressed concern that young people, including children as young as 10, are increasingly drawn to violent and extreme content online.
Evans highlighted that the nature of radicalization has shifted, with suspects often lacking a clear ideology, instead consuming a horrific mix of violent and misogynistic material.
She emphasized the need for new strategies to prevent the exposure of youth to extreme content, as this is leading to alarming increases in violent behavior.
In response to rising concerns, the UK government is reforming the Prevent scheme to better address youth radicalization and exposure to harmful online material.
