A 2022 report by the Secretary-General highlights how Member States now perceive this brand of terrorism as the fastest-growing or most prominent domestic security threat. Notably, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified domestic violent extremism, often rooted in xenophobia and racial resentment, as a significant terrorism-related menace to the United States. Recognizing the limitations of conventional methods such as policing and surveillance, the CED shifts focus towards psychological approaches. Its goals are twofold: firstly, to identify new, more effective approaches using psychological insight to disengage extremist sentiment, with a specific emphasis on Racially and Ethnically Motivated Forms of Violent Extremism (REMVE)within the United States. Secondly, the directive aims to develop methods to foster community resilience, thereby mitigating the further proliferation of extremist sentiment. Through these targeted efforts, the CED seeks to confront and address the growing threat posed by extremism in contemporary society. Current Research Objectives. The ongoing research project, Exploring Domestic Extremism: Perspectives of Women in the Far-Right, delves into the intricate dynamics underlying the promotion of political extremism, with a particular focus on the influence of women in perpetuating such narratives within their communities. Through a combination of focus groups and a national survey targeting women in far-right movements, the research seeks to explore the underlying psychological drivers of extremism within community contexts, shedding light on the ideologies and motivations of social groups like TradWives and Moms for Liberty. Ultimately, the project aims to identify potential points of intervention for countering extremist ideologies, informing the development of psychology-informed and evidence-based approaches to mitigating the impact of extremism.
