ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on how injustice judgments contribute to radicalization into violent extremism. Building on an earlier review I discuss how Muslim radicalization, right-wing radicalization, and left-wing radicalization can be influenced by perceived injustice.

In discussing important challenges that modern social psychology of justice is confronted with I suggest that what we learn methodologically from the study of radicalization may contribute to what is needed for the future of justice studies and basic social psychology.
