Violent extremism cannot be defeated without interventions addressing the root of the problem – the specific ideologies and motivations that stimulate recruitment into these criminal organizations. There is no single approach which is effective or appropriate to prevent and counter the phenomenon. Cultural, sociological and context-specific considerations have to be part of the national and international strategies.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a feature of science fiction writing for almost a century, but it is only in more recent years that the prospect of truly autonomous robotics - even those that have only limited functionality - have become viable. While this potentially will provide great opportunities, the development of AI is likely to impact upon the very functioning of society, posing practical, ethical and security challenges.
The new online Bibliography on Cyber Threats includes all the material that has been collected for the preparation of specific projects developed by UNICRI's Emerging Crimes team and the documentation acquired by the UNICRI Library. The collected documents are now accessible online and can be consulted via the relevant electronic link.
