Contemporary Counterterrorism: Engaging in Deradicalization and Counterradicalization
Author(s):
This paper addresses questions in contemporary deradicalization efforts by focusing on three social segments of a particular society; the radicalized, the nonradicalized youth, and the host communities. In all these questions, the central themes of deradicalization and counterradicalization are envisioned in a spectrum of community-oriented programs, projects, and activities. The article uses these terminologies as a model to disengage radicalized groups from violent worldviews and to anticipate and mitigate further radicalization.
