Link: Young people involved in one-fifth of Australian terrorism cases, intelligence chief says
One in five of Australia’s priority counter-terrorism cases involves youth, according to the nation's top intelligence official.
This trend was highlighted by "Five Eyes" intelligence, stressing the need for earlier intervention by mental health, educational, and social services.
The alliance—comprising Australia, the U.S., Canada, Britain, and New Zealand—pointed out the challenge of radicalization among young "digital natives."
ASIO's Director-General Mike Burgess emphasized that all terrorist activities in Australia this year involved young individuals.
These findings underscore the growing concern over the susceptibility of youth to extremist influences.
Efforts to address this issue must involve collaborative approaches that integrate support systems from various sectors #
