Domestic Extremism and the Case of the Toronto 18

More about the book

Focusing on the phenomenon of radicalization, the book explores how fears of domestic extremism have led to the erosion of democratic values in North America and Western Europe. It argues that societal responses to these fears have often resulted in greater insecurity. Through the case study of the Toronto 18, the author illustrates how macro social relations and structures contribute to the conditions fostering radicalization. The work emphasizes the necessity of understanding these broader contexts to develop effective counter-terrorism strategies.
