Preventing Violent Extremism: a review of the Literature / Stephens, William; Sieckelinck, Stijn; Boutellier, Hans   Journal Article
Sieckelinck, Stijn Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The rapid growth in research directed toward preventing violent extremism has resulted in a rich but fragmented body of literature spanning multiple disciplines. This review finds a number of themes that cut across a range of disciplinary approaches and suggests that the concept of resilience could provide the basis for a common framework for prevention. However, thus far the notion of resilience to extremism has often focused on the individual, and insufficient attention has been given to the role of contextual structures and institutions. We suggest that a social–ecological perspective on resilience could re-orientate the discourse on resilience to extremism.

Transitional Journeys Into and Out of Extremism: a Biographical Approach / Sieckelinck, Stijn   Journal Article
Sieckelinck, Stijn Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article describes an empirical study into processes of homegrown radicalization and de-radicalization of young people. Researchers in Denmark and the Netherlands set out to answer the question regarding what pathways in and out of extremism (mainly far-right or Islamist) look like “from the inside.” The analysis is informed by grounded theory, based on interviews (N = 34) with “formers” and their family members on their life courses. The study shows that radicalization often concurs with distinct social–emotional developmental challenges that young people face in the transition between youth and adulthood. A practical implication of the marked transitional sequences in these processes is that each type of radical journey may call for a different type of (re)action.
