Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans expressed concerns about youth, stating they display a 'grotesque fascination with violence,' and highlighted troubling patterns in their internet searches.
Evans revealed the horror found in young people's search histories during investigations, mentioning content including violence, misogyny, extreme pornography, and fascination with mass violence.
She indicated a notable rise in self-initiated terrorists not linked to larger networks but inspired by the extreme content available online, posing new risks.
In the last six years, police have thwarted 43 planned terrorist attacks, suggesting urgent demands on counter-terrorism resources to monitor and mitigate emerging threats.
