Resumen

Uno de los grandes retos para la Humanidad es afrontar la radicali-zación que lleva al extremismo violento y el terrorismo. Desde un punto de vista científico, en las dos últimas décadas se han desarrollado importantes avances teórico-conceptuales, se han construido instrumentos de evaluación del riesgo y se ha aportado un corpus de evidencia científica apreciable. A día de hoy, los retos sociales emergentes y la importancia de priorizar enfoques preventivos exigen que este ámbito de estudio continúe informando la práctica profesional y la toma de decisiones. El presente monográfico realiza un balance del estado actual de la cuestión y ofrece ejemplos de investigaciones empíricas desde la Psicología Social, tratando de visibilizar algunas líneas de investigación y sus potenciales aplicaciones en el campo de la seguridad.
