The ‘War on Terror’, State Crime & Radicalization: Revisiting Theories of Radicalization [This chapter explores the micro-individual-emotional level and therefore the factors which are associated with radicalization and form a theory of radicalization. The space between cognitive radicalization and violent radicalization is explored. It is argued that cognitive radicalization is safe, and the over-criminalization of this perspective is likely to push cognitive radicalization into violent radicalization, and therefore a softer approach is required to counter terrorism.

Abstract

[This chapter explores the micro-individual-emotional level and therefore the factors which are associated with radicalization and form a theory of radicalization. The space between cognitive radicalization and violent radicalization is explored. It is argued that cognitive radicalization is safe, and the over-criminalization of this perspective is likely to push cognitive radicalization into violent radicalization, and therefore a softer approach is required to counter terrorism. Having explored these variables that form the micro-individual-emotional level, subsequent chapters then assess how state practices and state crimes impact the micro-individual-emotional level, thereby assessing how state crimes have facilitated radicalization and terrorism in the ‘war on terror’.]
