Anti-Radicalisation Report 2019

The objective of this report is to illustrate how city policymakers can address some of the key challenges of radicalization. Specifically it focuses on polarization and isolation as possible contributing factors in the radicalization process, and examines the notion that community engagement and social integration are key to mitigating these vulnerability factors. The report identifies the following key findings: Involve communities in the social integration process from the start; challenge inaccurate perceptions and promote credible voices to ease community tensions; consider the non-minority viewpoint by engaging all members of society; map social sentiment to better understand community grievances and inform policy development; design city policy holistically to avoid unintended consequences and displacement of issues.
