A fundamental issue established at the outset of this course is the fact
that becoming involved in terrorist activities is a process, where numerous
factors can affect the mindset and actions of an individual. We have covered
many of these issues and influences, so concerning this matter, compare and
contrast at least two different radicalization models that explain terrorist
motivations. In this research paper also summarize behavioral and
psychological factors associated with disengaging from terrorism and
describe what efforts or programs are most effective in countering
radicalization and why.
