Formers & Families: Transitional Journeys in and out of Extremisms in the United Kingdom, Denmark, and The Netherlands
Author(s):
This report presents the outcome of research conducted as part of “Formers and Families”, a two-year project made possible financially by the European Union, the Dutch ministry of Security and Justice, the UK Home Office, and the Danish Ministry of Integration, Immigration and Housing. To investigate the possible role that family members play in the processes of radicalisation and de-radicalisation of adolescents and young adults, researchers from the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands collaborated to study whether the development of radicalisation is influenced by the pedagogical climate within the family, and by the responses of parents and other ‘educators’ during the process of radicalisation.
