Radicalization and Violent Extremism Prevention

Programs that work to lower the threat of local terrorism by individuals or small groups who have been recruited online or by other means to adopt an extremist belief system that supports the use of violence against people to achieve ideological, religious or political goals. Programs seeking to counter violent extremism strive to educate communities and increase their resilience against the impact of extremist recruitment narratives, sometimes with counter-narratives; provide forums for discussing issues such as civil rights, discrimination and hate crimes and associated grievances; encourage community led interventions to halt radicalization at an early stage and address social alienation; help families identify instances of provocation and employ de-escalation strategies aimed at presenting opportunities for the individual to abandon the path of radicalization; and implement other community based approaches.
