DescriptionTwo of the most central questions in radicalization research are:1) why do some individuals radicalize when most of those from the same groups or exposed to similar conditions do not? and2) why do radicalized individuals turn to radical violence while the majority remain inert? It has been suggested that the answer to both questions lie in the cumulative and interactive effects of a range of risk factors. While risk assessment and counter‐radicalization take a risk‐protective factor approach, there is widespread debate as to what these factors are and which are most important.Related topicCauses of radicalisation (risk, push/pull factors)LinkRead the document
