ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the stabilizing influences that reduce the risk of escalation to violence. We look at seven factors that can shift the incel away from their negative and potentially violent worldview. For each, we include a discussion of the factor followed by several reflective questions to explore these concepts. We look at environmental and emotional stability, social heath and relationships, access to non-violent outlets, empathy and connection, positive social and individual action, positive masculinity, and affirmative sexuality.
