Disengagement Case Study: Sarah’s Story

As an adolescent, Sarah* became involved in a series of violent extremist right-wing (XRW) groups. She eventually committed to one group and was convicted for terrorist offenses. Sarah’s first exposure to the XRW scene came via a group of skinheads in high school. Sarah says that these initial groups were little more than “watered down punk rockers” mostly focused around the “style, the way of life, the music scene.”
