deradicalise

Reverse ideological extremism

To deradicalise someone is to draw them away from extreme political, religious, or ideological views—typically through intervention programs, counseling, or gradual reintegration into mainstream society.

Governments and organisations deradicalise former extremists or those at risk of radicalisation: The program aims to deradicalise young people recruited by terrorist groups.
