This paper will explore how psychological factors such as radicalization,
ingroup favoritism, and social identity theory contribute to the rise of
domestic terrorism in the U.S., with a particular focus on right-wing extremist
groups. It will examine how perceived outgroup threats, specifically linked to
U.S. immigration policies, exacerbate tensions, and may lead to the
militarization of extremist groups. The paper will predict an increase in
homegrown terrorism driven by these psychological dynamics and propose
community-based interventions and deradicalization strategies aimed at
mitigating this national security threat.
This topic allows you to explore the intersection of domestic terrorism and
immigration-related group psychology, offering a comprehensive approach to
analyzing these threats.
