deradicalization
Undoing militant beliefs
Deradicalization is the process of steering someone away from extreme ideological positions, especially violent ones.
Governments and organizations run deradicalization programs for former terrorists, gang members, or cult followers, aiming to reintegrate them into mainstream society: The prison's deradicalization initiative showed mixed results.
The concept assumes radicalization can be reversed through intervention, education, or counseling.
