An extremist narrative usually has three elements. First, it states what has or will go horribly wrong. Secondly, it advocates what should be done to stop the situation. Thirdly, it explains who should do this and why. Young people are most susceptible to extremist narratives and recruitment. They are curious and searching for answers and trying to find their place in society. This can make them vulnerable to being manipulated.
