Preventing Violent Extremism through Value Complexity: Being Muslim Being British
Jose Liht and Sara Savage, January 2013
Summary
The value complexity prevention method addresses radicalization and involvement in violent extremism (RIVE) in the United Kingdom (UK) by enabling participants to maximize a wider range of their own values as a means to increase their complexity of thinking about issues of potential cleavage between Muslim and British/western identities. The argument we marshal below is that increasing the complexity with which people think about the issues that other radicalizers exploit, serves to reduce vulnerability to the messages of extremism as a broad-based form of primary prevention.
