Youth violence and radicalization in Central Europe

Overview

In the Czech Republic, a violent attack on a 15-year-old in a Vyškov shopping centre has raised concerns regarding a trend of violent crime among adolescents. Authorities noted the assault was filmed and shared online.

In Slovakia, officials have warned of rising radicalization among youth. Experts attribute this trend to loneliness, family isolation, and the spread of extremist ideas via internet algorithms, fake influencers, and closed-group messaging.
