Square graphic with light blue background and SCENOR – The Science Crew logo at the top. Large text reads “FACT VS FICTION”. A white text box states: “Lone actors radicalise in isolation, without meaningful contact with others or relevant warning signs.” An arrow icon indicates swiping. Square graphic labelled “FACT” on a light background. A text panel explains that research shows many so-called lone actors are not fully isolated, often consuming extremist content online, interacting in loose digital networks, and communicating grievances or intentions before an attack. Source cited: Royal United Services Institute (2016). Square graphic titled “WHY IT MATTERS”. Text explains that viewing lone-actor violence as entirely isolated creates blind spots in prevention. It highlights that leakage and digital traces can serve as early warning signals if recognised and addressed responsibly, especially by frontline professionals and platforms. Square graphic titled “FURTHER READING”. Arrows point to two websites: www.scenor.at , labelled “Research and briefings”, and www.extremismus.info , labelled “German explainers & sources”. At the bottom, a question reads: “Which claim should we test next?”

NEW FACT VS FICTION EDITION

What does research really tell us about deradicalisation and how success should be understood in prevention work?

Follow SCENOR for new FACT vs FICTION editions every two weeks.

#FactVsFiction #Deradicalisation #SecurityResearch #SCENOR
Introductory slide with the SCENOR – The Science Crew logo and the title “FACT VS FICTION”. Subheading states: “Debunking myths about extremism, terrorism and more.” Neutral blue-grey background with minimal graphic elements. Slide titled “FICTION”. Text states: “Deradicalisation programmes do not work and fail to prevent reoffending.” Clean layout with a white text box on a blue-grey background and a visual cue to swipe for the fact. Slide titled “FACT”. Text explains that deradicalisation does not require full ideological change to be effective. It highlights risk reduction through disengagement from violence, weakening harmful networks, and improved social functioning. Source cited: RAN Rehabilitation Manual. Slide titled “WHY IT MATTERS”. Text explains that judging success only by belief change creates blind spots in policy and practice. It stresses assessing outcomes based on reduced risk, sustained disengagement, and social reintegration rather than ideological transformation alone.
