Abstract
The phenomenon of radicalization of converts to Islam concerns a small number of the total sub-jects who undertake the path towards the new religious faith but the available data seem to in-dicate an over-representation within the group of violent extremists, who have perpetrated terrorist attacks in Europe and in the world. Despite this findings, the available studies are still in their in-fancy, far from being able to clearly define the peculiar elements that characterize the radical-ization paths of converts. Consequently, also the approaches aimed at the reintegration of former radicalized members can hardly be configured as tailor-made best practices. This paper intends to provide some elements of analysis of the phenomenon and to propose some possible strategies to overcome these challenges, based on the peculiarities that have emergedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
