Description
Why People Radicalize provides an in-depth analysis of how perceptions of unfairness can lead individuals and groups to develop radical convictions and sympathy for extremism and terrorism. Accessible for scientists, professionals, and practitioners, the book explains how uncertainty and insufficient self-corrections influence this process.
Succeeds splendidly in identifying what we can learn from the very large cluster of theoretical and empirical studies that seek to comprehend radicalisation as an escalation process. Van den Bos has earned his stripes as a social justice researcher and consciously uses that route into understanding radicalisation.
Kees van den Bos, Professor of Social Psychology and Empirical Legal Science at Utrecht University, researches fairness in order to develop basic scientific insights needed for the understanding of major societal problems. He has advised the Dutch government and the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism on why people engage in radical behavior, extremism, and terrorism.
