Stetten, Lina (Bielefeld/Germany)

The process of radicalization in the context of extremist groups.

"Not only in Germany, but also in the whole world, people were terrified by events such as the amok, school shootings and terroristic acts. These are highly expressive acts of violence that, in addition to their direct consequences for victims, also cause general feeling of endangerment for the whole society. This feeling of threat anchors especially in the unpredictability of these kind of acts..."

ABSTRACT

The talk will highlight the factors that seem to be relevant for the processes of radicalization prior to these highly expressive violent acts. Next, the talk will draw a comparison of these relevant factors between lone and group operators, with a focus on a comparison between the types of the offences "school shooting" and "terrorism" to point out .

Knowledge of the relevant factors leading to radicalization is not only important to understand the complexity of the processes of radicalization, but also to inform us of relevant effective strategies of intervention and prevention.
