Experience of discrimination

Less favourable treatment of an individual or group on the basis of particular characteristics e.g. ethnicity, race, religious beliefs, that results in adverse or negative consequences

Outcomes

Resilience

  • Environmental or community conditions that are conducive to violent extremism are reduced to levels that minimise violent extremism behaviour

    This outcome is concerned with the level of engagement, feelings of connectedness and commitment towards mainstream society, and the degree of social support an individual experiences. This outcome can also refer to a lack of access to resources and opportunities that would allow people to participate fully in mainstream society. Subjectively, it can relate to whether people perceive themselves to experience this lack of access.

Ways to measure

See the Countering Violence Extremism Evaluation Indicator Document [Pp 30-45] for practical suggestions on ways to measure such as survey instruments, example questions and using administrative data.

  • Everyday Discrimination Scale
  • General Ethnic Discrimination Scale
  • Perceived personal discrimination and perceived group discrimination
