Radical Milieus in Historical Context
This research probes the concept of ‘radical milieus’ in their historical context, addressing the role that radical milieus might play in the radicalisation processes of young people. The five country-level reports that comprise this study examine the concept of the radical milieu through a range of historically situated case studies, each reflecting a broad range of different geographical, temporal and ideological contexts with the aim of deepening our collective understanding of this sometimes overlooked context.

Historical Case Studies of Interactive Radicalisation
This report focuses on the nature of ‘cumulative extremism’ as viewed over time and through spatial comparison. It examines contemporary radicalisation processes through the theoretical frame of ‘cumulative extremism’ in order to understand historic instances of violent escalation, de-escalation and indeed non-escalation.

Reports on Drivers of Self Radicalisation & Digital Sociability
The reports presented here concern the role of the Internet and social media in processes of self-radicalisation. The term self-radicalisation refers to a type of radicalisation process that designates the radicalising individual as the instigator of the process. The DARE study investigates self-radicalisation specifically in relation to the role of participatory media in the process.

Meta-Ethnographic Synthesis: Qualitative Studies on Inequality and Radicalisation
This report is based on a specific type of qualitative literature review, namely, the meta-ethnographic synthesis (MES). The MES undertaken was designed to generate interpretive explanations of the relationship between inequality and radicalisation derived from the synthesis of the findings of multiple empirical studies. Studies included in this MES were qualitative (and mixed-method) empirical studies published in English between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2017. The studies concerned two main forms of ‘radicalisation’ (radical Islamist and extreme right/anti-Islam(ist) and inequality (economic, sociopolitical and perceived injustice).

Systematic Review: Quantitative Studies on Inequality and Radicalisation
The aim of this report is to provide a methodological evaluation and review of studies that focus on the relationship between inequality and radicalisation. Studies included in this systematic review were quantitative (or mixed-method) empirical studies published in English between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2017. A total of 132 publications meeting inclusion criteria were identified through a search of seven journal databases as well as two highly relevant journals, not listed in these databases, and the body of relevant grey literature. An additional nine publications were identified through cross-referencing.
