Youth Radicalization

Youth radicalization refers to the process where young people adopt extremist beliefs or support for violent actions, often influenced by factors like social, political, or religious issues. It can occur through online content, peer groups, or community environments, leading them to see violence as justified or necessary. This process is complex and influenced by personal experiences, identity struggles, or feelings of marginalization. Addressing youth radicalization requires understanding these underlying factors and providing supportive, engaging alternatives that foster critical thinking, inclusion, and resilience against extremist influences.
