Understanding the drivers and motivators of extremist violence

尽管人们对这一问题非常感兴趣，但我们对极端主义暴力的理解和应对能力有限。这一创新的研究项目旨在为理解和应对澳大利亚的极端主义暴力建立一个经验基础。它的目的是审查此类暴力的风险和保护因素、易犯此类行为的人的需要以及干预的有效性。预计调查结果将为卫生、国家安全、社会福利和司法机构提供信息，帮助他们识别有犯罪风险的人，满足他们的临床需求，并管理他们对社会和自己构成的伤害风险。

Despite intense interest in the issue, our understanding of and ability to respond to extremist violence is limited. This innovative program of research is designed to establish an empirical foundation for understanding and responding to extremist violence in Australia. It aims to examine risk and protective factors for such violence, the needs of those susceptible to committing such acts, and the effectiveness of intervention. Findings are expected to inform health, national security, social welfare, and justice agencies in their pursuit to identify those at risk of offending, address their clinical needs and manage the risk of harm they pose to society and to themselves.
