Abstract
This study analyzes the differences in public perceptions of the quality of radicalism prevention services from the point of view of the level of education. Education has been used to radicalize and deradicalize youth. Governments in conflict-affected countries have an interest in funding measures against violent extremism as part of education programs. After the social conflict in the Poso district, the local government implemented some policies aimed at preventing the emergence of radicalism. The results of the study of 456 respondents from four elements of the population, namely the army, police, government employees, and the general public, showed that the level of education was the difference between people’s perceptions of the quality of radicalism prevention services. Respondents with high school education were able to have a higher average response than those with a college education.
Highlights
Preventing radicalization has become a significant issue in the debate on terrorism and sustainable development among developing countries. Sas et al (2020) assert that radical individuals have a secondary or higher educational background. Ghosh (2018) finds that formal education can contribute to preventing youth radicalization
One form of theory in the context of radicalism is what happened in Poso District, Central Celebes, Indonesia, which led to several social unrests in the community for 10 years, from 1998-2007
The results of the test with the mean difference test (t-test for mean difference) and the median difference test (MannWhitney test for median) show that the response of respondents with high school education is statistically higher and significant compared to the response of respondents with a college education
Summary
Preventing radicalization has become a significant issue in the debate on terrorism and sustainable development among developing countries. Sas et al (2020) assert that radical individuals have a secondary or higher educational background. Ghosh (2018) finds that formal education can contribute to preventing youth radicalization. The level of education has a relationship with an understanding of radicalism. Silber and Bhatt (2002) document that a large proportion of radicalized people have earned a degree in secondary or higher education. Krueger and Maleckova (2007) reported that most terrorists from the Middle East obtained a higher education degree This evidence can be analogized that radicalism is related to the level of education. The social unrest in Poso was one of the social conflicts that occurred in Indonesia at the beginning of the reform era This riot lasted for quite a long time, approximately 10 years, from December 1998 to early 2007, and occurred in several stages, starting with the open conflict stage 3 times in 1998 to 2000, continuing with acts of terror and violence until early 2007. The Poso conflict has caused a large number of casualties, thousands of houses and public facilities were damaged or burned and tens of thousands of people became refugees
