How to Prevent Extremism and Policy Options

Radicalization Violence

Around the world, powerful ideologies are abusively using religious justifications to license horrific acts of violence. This global movement is adaptable to changing circumstances and its ideology is always ready to answer many different grievances. Vulnerable people, unsure of their identity and belonging, find answers in death, sometimes their own. The vast majority reject and condemn these actions, but if we are to stop them it will require us to both challenge the ideas themselves and develop resilience within those targeted for radicalisation.
