Project title: "Push-pull" social factors related to the degree of radicalization of adolescents in the context of Social Work

Project implementation period: 01/21-12/23

Position in the project: investigator (deputy of principal investigator)

The project corresponds to the working fields of social work and the modeled predictors are influenced by social work methods. It partially focuses on the exploration of the process of adolescents' radicalization in the conditions of the Slovak Republic and its identification. The result of the project will be a model of important social and family "push-pull" predictors of the adolescents' radicalization process.
