About Book

This conceptual framework by Hedayah offers a practitioner-oriented model that synthesizes various theories of radicalization into a usable structure for CVE programming. It categorizes factors into “push” (e.g., marginalization, repression), “pull” (e.g., group identity, ideological appeal), and “individual vulnerabilities” (e.g., trauma, personal grievances). The framework is designed to help policymakers and field practitioners understand the multifaceted pathways that lead individuals toward violent extremism. (Factors Contributing to Radicalization: A conceptual framework - Hedayah Website) As radicalization continues to be a pressing global issue, this framework remains highly relevant. It aids in designing community-based interventions by identifying specific factors that can be targeted to prevent radicalization. The emphasis on both structural and individual drivers allows for comprehensive community engagement strategies.. This publication is a valuable resource for CVE practitioners and policymakers. Its clear categorization of radicalization factors facilitates targeted intervention strategies.
