Abstract

This report outlines the foundations for a trauma-informed approach to risk assessment and discusses the utility of adopting such an approach in the contexts of countering violent extremism (CVE) and counterterrorism (CT). It builds on a systematic review on trauma, adversity, and violent extremism that examined the prevalence of trauma in life histories of violent extremists, and the relevance of trauma for interpreting journeys into and out of extremism (Lewis et al., 2024a).
