Learn and underatand what radicalisation is and what makes a person vulnerable to it. This course also looks at the signs of radicalisation and what to do if someone you know is showing signs of radicalisation.
Introduction
Radicalisation includes:
• People being persuaded to support extreme religious or racist ideas
• Activities that could lead people on a pathway towards terrorism
• The process by which a person comes to support terrorism and extremist ideologies
• When a person’s beliefs move from being quite ‘normal’ to being extreme and they want to see drastic change
All terrorist groups need to radicalise and recruit people to their cause in order to group their influence and create the change they want to see. Sometimes they want a few people with specialist skills, other times they want to recruit large numbers of people to create a mass of followers capable of creating pressure, such as overthrowing a legitimate government. Recruiters will target people who are more vulnerable as they are easier to persuade.
