CORE LIBRARY REPORT
This report covers the kind of psychosocial analysis that underlies Fuuse’s approach to understanding radicalisation, acknowledging that neither purely sociological or psychological explanations can fully capture radicalisation processes. It examines themes which have emerged out of Fuuse’s work and content in understanding how individuals become radicalised. It covers the role of false beliefs, trauma and identity in making individuals vulnerable to extremism. Retention of individuals in groups is described in terms of generating collective identities, group think and shared values. The implications of this analysis are explored in this final section. This report draws on many sources to provide an indication of the underlying mechanics which will underpin the series as a whole.
