SUMMARY:From Vulnerability to Violence: The Pathways to Radicalization
DESCRIPTION:How do “normal” people turn to political violence or become
  terrorists? Are there risk factors that can help identify future terroris
 ts before they strike? Is there a profile for a terrorist? Political radic
 alization is a psychological process of increasing extremity of beliefs\, 
 feelings\, and behaviors in support of intergroup conflict and violence. A
 cross individuals\, groups\, and mass publics\, twelve mechanisms of radic
 alization are distinguished. For ten of these mechanisms\, radicalization 
 occurs in a context of group identification and reaction to perceived thre
 at to the ingroup. Case studies of infamous terrorists such as Osama bin L
 aden\, Abu Mussab al Zarqawi\, Anders Brevik and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev help ex
 emplify the twelve mechanisms\, and recent political events\, from the Ham
 as attack on Israel on October 7 to the right-wing radicalization that fue
 led January 6 riot in Washington DC offer important historical context. Th
 e distinction between radical attitude and radical action and the role of 
 mental health in political violence are highlighted in this lecture.\nRegi
