Studies on radicalization & comments

[davidbfpo]

A British report by CREST that examines:

Why do some ‘extremists’ or ‘extremist groups’ choose not to engage in violence, or only in particular forms of violence? Why is it that even in deeply violent groups there are often thresholds of violence that members rarely if ever cross?

With three different case studies and all free to access.

A book review of 'Home Grown: How Domestic Violence Turns Men Into Terrorists'. A book I'd missed, but the review is worth a peek, if only to think about the possible application.

Something different after a recommendation by a "lurker" of a philosopher who dissects what are terrorist acts supposed to achieve and how?

An excellent BBC overview on preventing extremism or in full 'A psychological understanding of the “extremist mindset” is essential to combat violence.'
