2. New NIJ Briefs on Radicalization: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has released four briefs to help the field prevent and respond to radicalization and violent extremism. Each brief contains five critical facts based on recent NIJ-sponsored research, and may be relevant to your research or practice.
- Five Things About Individuals Who Engage in Violence Extremism and Similar Offenses tells us about identifying people at risk of committing these offenses, as well as strategies to help mitigate the risk of someone carrying out such acts.
- Five Things About the Role of the Internet and Social Media in Domestic Radicalization provides insight into how the internet and social media may both promote and prevent radicalization outcomes.
- Five Things About the Role of Social Networks in Domestic Radicalization provides insights into how social networks may either facilitate or prevent radicalization processes and disengagement efforts.
- Five Things About Community-Based Terrorism Prevention Programs shares how prevention programs can be designed and implemented at the community level and the most promising practices for addressing radicalized individuals before their ideologies manifest into violence.
3. Summary of NIJ Research on Domestic Terrorism: At the same time, several DTBC members contributed to a summary piece regarding NIJ-sponsored research on Domestic Terrorism. It contains a number of important findings resulting from the sponsored research over the past 10 years, and may be relevant to your own research, practice, or teaching.
