Description
Summary:Based on the behavioral model of homegrown radicalization trajectories in the United States conceptualized by Klausen et al. (Stud Confl Terror 39:67–83, 2015), this chapter proposes an adaptation, referred to as the radicalization to terrorism continuum. By applying certain modifications and drawing on previous literature, this continuum represents the deepening engagement an individual may undergo throughout the radicalization process until the commission of a terrorist act for some. It also becomes a model upon which French anti-terrorist legislation may be analyzed by associating criminal offenses with different behaviors. This research is part of a larger PhD subject which focuses on the analysis of governmental intervention along the different stages of the continuum. For this chapter, the continuum is tested against a case study, Mohamed Merah.
