International police networks are needed to thwart the radicalization of the world’s youth, the head of Interpol said Tuesday in Paris.
Interpol Secretary-General Ronald K. Noble told those attending the Association of Chiefs of Police summit the Internet has made it easier for terrorist organizations to radicalize youth. And the worldwide nature of the Internet, he said, requires a global law enforcement response.
“The advent of the Internet has made the process of radicalization easier to achieve and the process of combating it that much more difficult, because many of the behaviors associated with it are not in and of themselves criminal,” Noble said in an Interpol release.
“The threat is global; it is virtual; and it is on our doorsteps.”
