Comparatively, little has been written on the subject of Diversion - early, upstream interventions aimed at deflecting individuals from a pathway of radicalization.\u003cbr\u003e This volume addresses this gap in scholarship by analyzing the strategies being deployed worldwide, aimed at diverting or deflecting individuals, and communities, from the path of radicalization. Disengagement - which is often necessary when one has already progressed past the 'at-risk' stage - is also addressed, given that social workers, counselors and other practitioners do not necessarily find the distinction between the two a critical issue in practice. What matters is which upstream approaches work, and what shows promise, amongst individuals and communities. Case studies range across the Global North and South, presented by both academics and practitioners. Contributions address approaches that have proven useful, strategies which should be given deeper scrutiny before being employed - and what should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shashi Jayakumar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135025388X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350253889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Shashi Jayakumar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444558508287,"sku":"9781350253889","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98bc990e-f365-4c05-b19d-8fd73ece1532.jpg?v=1777213072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perspectives-on-countering-extremism-shashi-jayakumar-9781350253889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
