This study uses agent-based models (ABMs) to compare the impacts of three different types of interventions targeting recruitment to terrorism—community workers at community centers; community-oriented policing; and an employment program for high-risk agents. The first two programs are social interventions that focus on de-radicalization and changing the dispositions of agents in the model, whereas the employment program focuses on “deflection” and represents a situational/opportunity reducing approach to prevention. The results show significant impacts of the community worker and community policing interventions on radicalization but no significant impact on recruitment. In contrast, the employment intervention had a strong and significant impact on recruitment, but little impact on radicalization.

防止招募恐怖主义的最佳方法是什么？社会和情境预防中的 ABM 实验结果

本研究使用基于代理的模型 (ABM) 来比较三种不同类型的针对恐怖主义招募的干预措施的影响——社区中心的社区工作者；以社区为导向的警务；以及针对高风险代理人的就业计划。前两个项目是社会干预，侧重于去极端化和改变模型中代理人的性格，而就业项目侧重于“偏转”，代表了一种减少情境/机会的预防方法。结果显示社区工作者和社区警务干预对激进化有显着影响，但对招聘没有显着影响。相比之下，就业干预对招聘产生了强烈而显着的影响，但对激进化影响不大。
