Sociologist Gérald Bronner calls the notion of "deradicalization" flawed, saying "It means that you can take an idea or a belief out of the brain, and I think that’s just impossible" and instead suggests "not a kind of mental manipulation but the opposite — mind liberation, a strengthening of their intellectual immune systems".
Today, deradicalisation is used as a catch-all term for three very different processes. First, there’s deradicalisation itself; the ability to get someone, either a convicted terrorist or an at-risk extremist, to disavow the entire movement they were part of. Then there’s disengagement; more focused on how to stop that person from committing violence, rather than trying to help them change their overall world view. Finally, there’s prevention, essentially applying the lessons of the other two to understand how you can stop people from becoming extremists in the first place.
The field of deradicalisation has it roots in Racist and Right-Wing Violence in Scandinavia: Patterns, Perpetrators, and Responses, a book published that year by Norwegian researcher Tore Bjørgo
The most effective route out is to challenge this “de-pluralisation” of their worries. So if someone is concerned about money, help them hold down a stable job. If they are looking for a sense of camaraderie, help them to socialise with wider society. That doesn’t mean you completely ignore the ideology or ideas. “You cannot address the person's connection to an extremist environment without addressing what they found attractive
the framework exists, and groups like GIRDS and more have been using it to support former far right, Islamic or nationalist extremists
