Addressing the Rise of Nihilistic Violence Extremism and Sadistic Online Behavior
Online communities associated with nihilistic violent extremism (NVE), often referred to as the "Com" community, are increasingly targeting adolescents through manipulation, exploitation, sextortion, and encouragement of self-injurious behaviors. As more clinicians and forensic professionals encounter youth affected by these online networks, understanding these emerging threats is becoming increasingly important. In this training, Dr. Alex Rodrigues explores the structure and tactics of the Com community, emerging risk factors, prevention strategies, and approaches to conducting comprehensive evaluations. The training also examines related NVE movements, including 764, No Lives Matter, mass attacks, white supremacy, and occult-related content.
