Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The goal of SAFIRE is to improve fundamental understanding of radicalisation processes and use this knowledge to develop principles to improve (the implementation) of interventions designed to prevent, halt and reverse radicalisation. SAFIRE will develop a process model of radicalisation, describing the process from moderation to extremism, based on a non-linear dynamic systems approach and a typology of radical groups. This is an innovative approach that has not been explicitly applied to this area up until now. Principles regarding interventions will be developed in close concert with the models, and will be applied in a longitudinal, empirical study. Important aspects of radicalisation that will also be addressed are: the relationship between national culture and radicalisation, radicalisation on the Internet, and defining observable indicators of the radicalisation process. The main deliverable is a CD containing on one hand a detailed description of the work done in SAFIRE and on the other an interactive, accessible overview of the project designed for quick, user-friendly accessibility to the main points. Envisaged end-users are policy makers, researchers in the field of radicalisation and professionals who work with high-risk individuals. The results of this project will increase the understanding of both conceptual aspects of radicalisation (e.g. the psycho-social dynamics of radical groups and individuals), and practical characteristics and modus operandi of radical groups (e.g. recruitment techniques). In addition, the results will increase understanding of field efforts and interventions – when, why and how they work – thus helping focus the allocation of resources and the implementation of interventions.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Radical thinking can embrace extremism, leading to violent acts and behaviour. An EU initiative explored the motivation and techniques of groups and individuals in order to counter violent extremism and radicalisation in Europe.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Protecting society from the devastating consequences of radical extremism is challenging. For practical solutions to be effective, research needs to better understand violent radicalised groups and individuals and what motivates them. This means investigating the root causes of radicalisation and the time period when moderate radical thinking and action develop into violent and illegal activities.
With the support of EU funding, the 'Scientific approach to finding indicators of and responses to radicalisation' (http://www.safire-project.eu (SAFIRE)) project worked toward a deeper understanding of radicalisation. The overall aim was to use this knowledge to design and analyse measures to counteract the adoption of extreme political, social or religious principles and ambitions.
The project analysed criminal law in relation to radicalisation to identify what type of behaviour connected to radicalisation is a crime. Research was also carried out that addressed ethical issues.
Following a literature review, a report was produced that identified the various factors associated with radicalisation that result in violence or terrorism. This led to an analysis of violent extremist groups and individuals in Europe. More than 80 intervention initiatives dealing with radicalisation were assessed. The findings will have implications for design, implementation and policymaking.
another report validated the factors related to radicalisation at individual, group and society levels, and compared the effectiveness of interventions at different stages in the radicalisation process with earlier study findings.
SAFIRE presented practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and security and legal professionals with a comprehensive and coherent approach to understanding radicalisation. It has also given them the tools to implement more effective intervention programmes that keep people from becoming violent extremists.
