A whole-school approach to address youth radicalization

Description

This paper, dating back to 2023 and authored by Dianne Gereluk looks into how schools are increasingly being asked to identify and monitor youth who may be susceptible to recruitment toward radical groups. The paper argues that instead of just signalling at-risk behaviors, a whole-school approach may help to foster belonging and connection among youth, as a central component to safe and inclusive schools. Whole-school approaches attend to the different power relationships that occur within the school community, focusing on the classroom environment, the school organisation, and the broader school environment.
