ABSTRACT

In Chapter 8, we moved to the current challenge of detecting domestic extremism in employee communications. We used the recent case of Coast Guard Lieutenant Christopher Hasson to illustrate the relevance of CPIR factors in the communications of these individuals. We gave examples of how these subjects light-up each of the CPIR variables with an emphasis on their online communications. We drilled down on three stages of radicalization and the symptoms of each of these steps in both their outgoing and incoming communications.
