Integrated model explains violent extremism

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

Milan Obaidi from the University of Copenhagen has developed a new model for violent extremism.

The model combines psychology, sociology, and political science to explain how one person ends up committing violent extremism while another person in the same environment does not.

The physical and social environment of an unfavorable social environment is not sufficient to explain violent extremism, he says.

The perception of inequality is very important, and the individual's perception of their circumstances is also important.

Milan Obaidi hopes that the model can lead to a better understanding of the complex relationships that lead to violent extremism.

"It is simply too simplistic to look at just one factor. We show that ideology matters, social conditions matter, and personality matters," he says.

"There are some common traits among people who are willing to use violence, regardless of whether they are on the extreme right or Islamists ".
