Involuntary Celibate (Incel)
The term ‘Incel’ is one that appears to be having more media attention than previous years and its link to extremism and pro-violent views should be considered within Public Protection agendas.
Incel is the abbreviated term of ‘involuntary celibate’ and a movement that has quickly accelerated and shares some views with ‘manosphere’ attitudes that feel gender inequality is either a myth or that men are the in equal gender.
In this presentation David will provide you with more understanding on this threat and cover areas such as:
•Incel ideology
•Links to violence
•Online activity
•Prevention and intervention
