Domestic terrorism and extreme belief communities are on the rise in the United States as social and political polarization continues unabated. The recent attack on the US Capitol has dramatically demonstrated how serious and how dangerous these trends are in their reach and influence in our culture. Case studies will highlight the factors contributing to radicalization and culminating in the various pathways to extremist violence. Both online and on-ground investigations will be addressed, as will risk assessment instruments for targeted violence and lone actor terrorist violence.
