This monograph is an interdisciplinary study of the social science literature pertaining to counter-terrorism, with chapters seven and eight focussing on the cessation of involvement in terrorism activities. Generally, these chapters emphasise that just as radicalization pathways are somewhat context-specific, so too are deradicalization pathways. However, tying in with previous themes of disillusionment, the chapters generally agree that abandonment of a group is most likely if the individual believes that increased commitment will fail to produce a more desirable outcome in the future. Also, given the importance of relationships with role models in the decision to reject violence, the point is made that the decision to deradicalize was often an individual one is more likely attributed to necessity than to choice. The “reeducation” efforts of state deradicalization programs as well as their focus on the detainees’ families seem more in line with the understanding of the important role that social and familial ties have on identity, values, and beliefs, as well as on an individual’s extracurricular activities. The study highlights the available literature’s emphasis on promoting positive, alternative social interactions that circumvent the insularity of extremist groups.
