In this NPS-CHDS Viewpoints, NPS-CHDS master’s graduate Mourad Mourad shares insightful methods to counter violent extremism. Mourad’s thesis, “Tailoring Violent Extremism Prevention: A Targeted Intervention Method,” identifies deficiencies in our currently employed countering violent extremism programs. By researching variations in ethnicity, race, age, religion, motivations, and paths to radicalization, Mourad is able to propose a comprehensive model that aims to intervene and prevent violent extremism. Multidisciplinary teams are at the core of Mourad’s proposed solution to develop tailored violent extremism prevention models.
