Today we sit down with Joe Whittaker (@CTProject_JW), an extremism researcher who teaches cybercrime at Swansea University in Wales, to continue our series about the wonderful world of Countering Violent Extremism. We talk about his research on online radicalization and get into the nuts and bolts of some of these "derad" programs everyone’s always talking about.
