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.
