deradicalizing
Reversing extremist beliefs
Deradicalizing is the process of moving someone away from extreme political, religious, or ideological views, typically through intervention programs, counseling, or education.
The term is most often applied to efforts aimed at former terrorists, hate group members, or those who have been recruited into extremist movements.
The program focuses on deradicalizing young people who were drawn into white supremacist groups online.
Deradicalizing work addresses both beliefs and the social bonds that keep people connected to radical communities.
