The UK has seen an outbreak of riots after the death of three children in a knife attack. Misinformation about the suspect's heritage and religion was spread by social media, which was then used to incite violence and racism resulting in damage to property, terror and injuries. We put forward arguments that this was an extremist act and draw on the literature on terrorism, extremism and identity to put forward a deeper analysis of how this happened and what can be done to prevent future riots. We bring an interdisciplinary perspective drawing on research from social, cultural, psychological and political perspectives.
在一次持刀袭击事件导致三名儿童死亡后,英国爆发了骚乱。社交媒体传播了有关嫌疑人出身和宗教的错误信息,这些信息随后被用来煽动暴力和种族主义,导致财产受损、恐慌和人员受伤。我们提出观点认为这是一起极端主义行为,并借鉴有关恐怖主义、极端主义和身份认同的文献,对这一事件的发生过程以及如何预防未来的骚乱进行更深入的分析。我们从社会、文化、心理和政治等视角的研究中汲取灵感,带来一种跨学科的观点。
