AVERT Webinar - The Filtering Role of Trust in the Process of Disengagement

In this webinar, Dr John Morrison focused on the role which trust plays within the process of disengagement from violent extremism. Dr Morrison utilised the Phoenix model of disengagement and deradicalisation as a basis for his presentation. This model includes the theme of (dis)trust as a filter variable. Dr Morrison critically discussed the implication of this and how it can be integrated within appropriate CVE approaches, including consideration of the need to understand cross-cultural differences in the development and maintenance of trust, and how this may impact our approaches and understanding of disengagement processes.
