Abstract

Education is a vital factor in policing violent extremism, jihadist tendencies, and early radicalization in the academic milieu. As students are increasingly recruited by terrorist groups, there is a need for synergy between law enforcement agencies, students, and other administrative authorities to help in the fight against jihadist tendencies and terrorism. This paper provides some adequate recommendations, after analyzing three indicators of radicalization in the academic milieu, which is necessary when policing this global menace.
