There are many different types of radicalisation although in general terms we tend to identify it with conducting criminal acts of direct action to support some type of protest campaign, and there is often a link to terrorism. There are also different stages of the radicalisation process, each of which provide an opportunity to intervene to stop or halt progression to the next and ultimately to a malign outcome. Moreover, radicalisation can be motivated by a range of factors, including ideologies, religious beliefs, political beliefs and prejudices against particular groups of people and these too lend support to different preventive interventions. This webinar will discuss:

How big is the problem of radicalisation and what are the things which we should be most concerned about?
What are the key ways in which threats can best be managed?
What does good radicalisation prevention/management look like?

Panellists:
Ashton Kingdon – PhD Candidate at University of Southampton
Tochukwu Omenma – Senior Lecturer at University of Nigeria Nsukka
Kumar Ramakrishna – Head of International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research at S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies
