Mohammed M. Hafez and Creighton Mullins, “The Radicalization Puzzle: A Theoretical Synthesis of Empirical Approaches to Homegrown Extremism,” Studies in Conflict and Terrorism 38, November 2015.
November 10, 2015
On this solemn anniversary of the 11 September 2001 attacks, a new publication appeared summarizing the decade-long research on violent radicalization and terrorism. The study, which is titled “The Radicalization Puzzle: A Theoretical Synthesis of Empirical Approaches to Homegrown Extremism,” was published in the journal Studies in Conflict and Terrorism. It was jointly authored by MAJ. Creighton Mullins (USAF and recent graduate of the NSA department) and myself. We are proud of this piece because it exemplifies the nexus between relevant security research and education at NPS. It is also unfortunate that this type of research is still relevant 14 years after that ill-fated morning in America.
