Domestic Extremism
Domestic extremism refers to violent acts or ideologies that originate within a country, often motivated by political, social, or religious beliefs. These individuals or groups may seek to promote their agenda through unlawful actions, targeting specific communities or institutions. Domestic extremism can manifest in various forms, including white supremacist movements, anti-government groups, and eco-terrorism.
Governments and organizations monitor domestic extremism to prevent violence and protect public safety. This includes identifying potential threats and understanding the motivations behind extremist beliefs. Efforts to combat domestic extremism often involve community engagement, education, and law enforcement collaboration to address the root causes of radicalization.
