Understanding the pathways between extremism and terrorism remains a critical priority for safeguarding communities and informing effective counterterrorism strategies. How do individuals become involved in terrorism, and what observable factors can help us identify and address these processes? What role do communities play in reporting concerns, and how can barriers to reporting be better understood and overcome?

This collection presents a selection of CREST resources that explore these questions, examining conceptual frameworks of radicalisation, community reporting dynamics, and thresholds for intervention. Each resource links to wider research that offers evidence-based insights for policymakers and practitioners tackling extremism and terrorism.
