Uit de link: "Terwijl het gevaar op suïcide copycats net als bij de klassieke zelfdoding heel erg groot is."

Waar haalt 'm dat vandaan?

studie die 'm lijkt tegen te spreken ( via google gevonden ) https://icct.nl/wp-content/uploads/2...rch-2017-1.pdf

"...we did not uncover clear evidence supporting a copycat effect..."

Toch gemakkelijk hé. Google op een zinnetje dat in je kraam past en gooit het ter bewijs op het forum. Je hebt duidelijk niet de moeite gedaan de studie te lezen. Ik zal je helpen:

Although our analysis did not provide clear-cut support for a copycat effect among suicide terrorist attacks, we cannot rule out that media does not have any influence in these practices. Our statistical analysis identified a number of clustered attacks containing similar attack details but could not determine the presence of a copycat effect using the data alone. Until further, more detailed analyses can exclude potential contagion effects, we may wish to exercise caution in reporting on these events.

The reasons for such caution are twofold: on the one hand, as Adam Lankford has argued elsewhere (35) individual perpetrators of suicide attacks may primarily be driven by suicidal ideations, rather than by ideological motivations. Executing a suicide attack may provide a socially approved way of ending their lives (36). In such cases, it may be argued that these suicidal individuals could be inspired by glorified, romanticised and detailed publications of suicide attacks that may inspire them to carry out a similar attack. Based on this assumption, suicide terrorism would follow the same contagion pathways as “regular” suicides. What follows is that media outlets should adhere to similar reporting guidelines for responsible media reporting(37). These include refraining from presenting acts of suicide terrorism and mass homicide as a cultural script. For example, the perpetrator should not be framed as an at-risk individual who solved his or her frustrations by committing violent suicide. Linking their act of suicide terrorism to an aspect of their background may give future viewers the ability, through social learning, to gain solidarity with the perpetrator and potentially commit an act of suicide terrorism themselves. This point may be particularly important due to the rise of the Leaderless Resistance, and lone wolf models adopted by major terrorist organisations such as IS, whose individual perpetrators of terroristic violence operate outside known terrorist networks and as such fall largely within a blind spot of traditional intelligence systems and practices.

The second reason for exercising caution when it comes to reporting on suicide terrorism takes a moralistic approach, and continues to be a widely debated topic among counter-terrorism experts today (38). Detailed reporting on such attacks provides terrorist organisations a wider platform for their aims and doctrines. While there is no evidence supporting the suggestion that media coverage of suicide terrorism cases increases their frequency in the same ways as coverage of suicide cases may increase the frequency of individual suicides, research within the field remains largely exploratory and in its early stages. As such, further attention should be directed towards the development and implementation of responsible media-reporting conventions as a largely precautionary measure, as well as to limit the spread of terrorist propaganda.

En nog belangrijk: de studie gaat over aanslagen voor 2007. Ik denk - en dat doen de onderzoekers ook - dat met de opkomst van sociale media de zaken er heel anders kunnen uitzien. Een andere beperking van de studie die de onderzoekers erkennen is het verschil in media-aandacht bij aanslagen in het westen en daarbuiten. Aangezien de studie over aanslagen wereldwijd gaat, kan ook dat een invloed hebben gehad op de resultaten.

Nogmaals: wat is de relevantie van de naam en de foto van de dader? Wat voor zin heeft het om tot in het kleinste detail de werkwijze van terroristen in de media te brengen? Hierop heb ik nog geen zinnig antwoord gehoord.
