Exit trajectories hinge on a person’s developmental core need
Evidence
Critically, none of these heterogeneous exit trajectories can be understood without reference to the developmental core need, which allows for interpretive nimbleness and flexibility with respect to understanding an individual’s entry and exit patterns. Without such nimbleness and flexibility, we remain captive to linear and dichotomous understandings that restrict the possibilities for the disengagement and deradicalization process. — Amy Fisher-Smith, Charles R.
