“…For example, Schuurman (2020) found that the use of primary data has risen considerably during this period, and there has also been a significant rise in the range of data-collection strategies and techniques used by the scholarly community. Recent meta-analyses and systematic reviews of the discipline have also revealed the current knowledge in this scholarly field and provided a good account of the knowledge applied to the risk factors and protection of radicalization (Campelo et al, 2018;Emmelkamp et al, 2020;Lösel et al, 2018;Trujillo & Moyano, 2019;Wolfowicz et al, 2020).…”

“…However, even though there are positive data on the growth in the quality and quantity of studies in this field, research into the processes of radicalization, violent extremism and terrorism faces difficulties and challenges that have not yet been resolved. Among them, we could cite the diversity of the existing theoretical models, the difficulties in conceptually delimiting certain constructs, cultural biases, the difficulty of obtaining empirical data and accessing information from police sources, the use of anecdotal evidence, social desirability and the difficulty of replicating studies (Mintz & Brule, 2009;Moyano, 2019;Trujillo & Moyano, 2019).…”

“…In our opinion, the most sensible alternative to uninformed policies is to focus on cumulative science. From this stance, the goal is to consolidate and construct a scholarly community that works collectively by connecting the efforts of researchers and focusing on obtaining empirical evidence and replicability (Moyano, 2019;Trujillo & Moyano, 2019). We hope that this monograph helps to shed light on some of the topics that we believe are extraordinarily timely in this field of research, while also offering the scholarly community and society four empirical studies that can help improve our knowledge of psychosocial phenomena that are pressing today, namely ideological radicalization (political, religious and/or ethnic), violent extremism and terrorism.…”

“…A modo de ejemplo, Schuurman (2020) encontró que el uso de datos primarios ha aumentado durante este período de forma considerable, y también se ha producido un incremento considerable en lo referido a la diversidad de estrategias y técnicas de recogida de datos utilizadas por la comunidad científica. Recientes meta-análisis y revisiones sistemáticas sobre la disciplina también han puesto de manifiesto el conocimiento actual en este campo científico, ofreciendo buena cuenta del conocimiento aplicado sobre los factores de riesgo y protección de la radicalización (Campelo et al, 2018;Emmelkamp et al, 2020;Lösel et al, 2018;Trujillo & Moyano, 2019;Wolfowicz et al, 2020).…”

“…Sin embargo, aunque existen datos para valorar positivamente el crecimiento en calidad y cantidad de este ámbito de estudio, la investigación sobre los procesos de radicalización, extremismo violento y terrorismo tiene dificultades y desafíos aun no resueltos. Entre otros, podríamos citar la diversidad de modelos teóricos existentes, las dificultades para acotar conceptualmente algunos constructos, los sesgos culturales, la dificultad para obtener datos empíricos y acceder a la información de fuentes policiales, el uso de evidencia anecdótica, la deseabilidad social o la dificultad para replicar trabajos (Mintz & Brule, 2009;Moyano, 2019;Trujillo & Moyano, 2019).…”

One of the major challenges facing humanity is understanding the psychosocial mechanisms that underlie radicalization in order to effectively deal with its shift towards violent extremism and terrorism. From a scientific standpoint, there have been major theoretical-conceptual and technical-methodological advances which have led to the development of a significant corpus of evidence-based knowledge on these topics. Nowadays, the challenge posed by coping with radicalization into violent extremism is shifting the priority to preventive approaches geared at improving professional practice and proactive decision-making. This monograph takes stock of the current state of the issue and contains four empirical studies grounded in social psychology in an effort to shed light on some current lines of research and their potential applications in the field of security.

Radicalization is a complex process given the fact that several factors interact in it. In order to gain an overview of these factors, a case study was performed of the cell that carried out the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils. The 3N model of radicalization was used, which proposes three factors: needs, narratives and networks. The content of the order handed down by the National High Court and the police proceedings of Mossos d’Esquadra, the police force in Catalonia, were analysed to identify possible indicators of those three factors which may have contributed to the radicalization within the 17-A cell. The results showed the existence of different indicators such as providing a life purpose, giving personal significance, exposure to extremist propaganda materials, the assimilation of values, identity fusion and having a common cause. We conclude by stressing the importance of considering the interaction of multiple factors in understanding radicalization in all its complexity.
