Evidence-Based Solutions for Youth Deradicalisation

Young people are consuming online content for many reasons. They may be looking for answers, community or a sense of identity. They might be bored. They might be sent something from a friend, or see it on an algorithmically generated feed.
Once they show interest in a subject, the algorithm feeds it to them with increasing frequency. Youth can internalise these messages often without knowing or understanding the harm they cause.

The 2026 threat environment outlines the concerns of the NZSIS, explicitly concerning online radicalism in youth.

Evidence suggests that direct conflict can be negatively received and there is a better way.

Responding to radicalisation and extremism risks for youth: An emerging child protection and youth justice practice issue in Aotearoa finds that “The response to children or rangatahi engaged in extremism should therefore benefit from grounded and holistic youth-oriented practice.“
Iliad Youth seeks to fill this need.
