ISD’s definition of extremism is the advocacy of political and social change in line with a system of belief that claims the superiority and dominance of one identity-based ‘in-group’ over an ‘out-group.’ Extremism advances a dehumanising ‘othering’ mindset incompatible with pluralism and universal human rights. It can be pursued through violent or non-violent means. ISD works to understand and address all ideologies which undermine democratic norms and human rights.
ISD has nearly two decades of experience tackling hate, extremism and information manipulation, and providing practitioners with the material they need. Our resources include extra-curricular activities and educational resources, and databases and toolkits for civil society, local authorities, policymakers and more. Our publications can also provide further information on threats to democracy and liberal society: these range from accessible explainers on specific groups, to quick-fire analysis on the issues of the day, to methodologically rigorous reports supported by qualitative and quantitative data.

Threat detection and analysis
Online ecosystems have a massive impact on the offline world. Our team of digital analysts and subject matter experts research and track a range of bad actors, including extremist groups, radicaliszed individuals and hostile states, to detect and prevent violent threats.
ISD offers a unique rapid response capability: we can provide partners with real-time analysis of incidents (from global conflicts to politically motivated attacks) at nearly any hour. This support helps stakeholders swiftly respond to evolving crises and minimise harm on the ground.
Our threat analysis and prevention practice involves monitoring online extremist ideologies, hostile states and other bad actors to identify and mitigate potential threats before they escalate into offline violence or criminal behaviour.
