TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - The dilemma of predicting violent radicalization JO - Pediatrics A1 - Rousseau, Cécile A1 - Ellis, B. Heidi A1 - Lantos, John D. SP - e2017 EP - 0685 VL - 140 IS - 4 N2 - Parents, educators, law enforcement officials, and health professionals are all concerned about the violent radicalization of adolescents. Health professionals may be called on to assess teenagers regarding the risk that they will become dangerous. We present a case in which a psychiatrist is asked to do a forensic evaluation of a young adolescent who said troubling things and had some concerning posts on his Facebook page. The evaluation reveals things about both the young boy and his community.
