Summary A perception shared broadly both within and outside Afghanistan is that displaced persons are vulnerable to radicalization and mobilization to violence. To assess the validity of this perception, this study--based on extensive surveys and interviews across eight afghan provinces--compared groups of displaced and nondisplaced persons on an array of socio-economic factors assumed to lead to greater vulnerability to radicalization. Counter to the general perception, the study found that the attitudes of displaced and nondisplaced groups toward the Taliban and the use of violence against civilians did not vary greatly, while the attitudes of any one group varied significantly from province to province, underscoring the need for well-targeted, locale-specific interventions to counter recruitment efforts.
