Morag, Nadav Smith, Paul Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.). National Security Affairs CHDS State/Local Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited The proposed thesis analyzes the threat and impact of homegrown radicalization on members of Muslim communities, its development and process in the United States and Europe, as well as unified efforts to counter radicalization that emphasize the need for interagency coordination and interdisciplinary approaches among all levels of government. Examined are the effectiveness and impact of a number of currently implemented counter-radicalization strategies and community outreach programs in the United States, particularly by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, as well as in countries abroad in the United Kingdom (UK), Amsterdam and Scandinavia. Best practices recommendations for implementing effective community outreach programs and developing a multi-agency counter-radicalization policy throughout the United States that aim to counter-radicalization and prevent violent extremism are based on promising findings derived from the research literature, selected case examples from the UK and Amsterdam, and professional expertise in community affairs. 2012-03-14T17:45:50Z 2012-03-14T17:45:50Z 2011-09 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/5568 760079878 Copyright is reserved by the copyright owner.
