About ACTRI

The American Counterterrorism Targeting and Resilience Institute (ACTRI) is a 501 c(3) nonprofit, cross-disciplinary research organization that combines human and artificial intelligence (AI) to study extremist behaviors across the spectrum of extreme right, extreme left, and militant jihadi ideologies. ACTRI researchers explore online ecosystem and global threat manifestations that impact local communities through radical factors, recruitment tactics, and digital literacy.

Network

Built On Three Pillars

Relationship

Extreme-right, extreme-left, and militant jihadi violent extremists may share different goals on the surface, but the striking similarities and trends in their modus operandi, indoctrination tactics, and individual drivers demands greater attention and research.

Value

By combining a commitment to proactive and empirical research with a uniquely diverse team of academic, security, practitioner, and digital communication and marketing professionals, ACTRI is well positioned to help establish new frontiers of effective CT and P/CVE for clients who need more out of their partnerships.

Messaging

Communications-based products and activities to prevent violent extremism and terrorism have taken a center stage in recent years, while their identification, creation, placement, and effectiveness continues to be debated by CT and P/CVE stakeholders. By blending localized, data-driven content, experimental research methodologies, and digital communication and marketing best practices, new thresholds of quality and efficacy may be achievable.
