Abstract
The aim of the current systematic literature review was to identify risk and protective factors related to radicalization processes among “normativeµ youth (not involved in explicit radicalization/violence stories or criminal circuits) in the European context. In total, 13 studies, published from 2000 onwards and following the eligibility criteria, were reviewed after performing a search on Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results suggest what might trigger or hinder youth’s attitudes and intentions of turning to radical ideas, extreme groups, and violence. Implications for practice are afforded in the final section of this work.
