ABSTRACT
Homegrown violent extremists all have families and live in communities that, complicit or not, possess the potential to reduce the risk of a deadly attack. With an appreciation of how charismatic figures, group dynamics and the radicalization pathway contribute to the emergence of HVE, it is essential to understand and leverage a community’s identified priorities as a means to enhance public safety. Doing so requires a new kind of community-based strategy. Presented here is such a model: Mosaic of Engagement.
