CO-2: Compare and contrast the different models and framework for the radicalization process. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned questions. This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use scholarly sources to support your thesis Academic Requirements: - Make sure your paper content meets the minimum acceptable length listed above with full pages of text, not including the Title or Reference pages. - Written according to the APA 7th edition style and format (parenthetical in-text citation formats only; not end notes or footnotes); - Use Times New Roman 12 point font; - 1 inch margins on all sides with no paragraph indentation other than the first line by .5 inches  - Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings and no added font sizes or lines either)  - A respectable number of credible resources used, cited in the paper as in-text citations, and included on the reference page. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content (so a minimum of 2 new scholarly sources per page in a research paper is acceptable for this assignment). Use those academic and credible sources provided to you throughout the course, as well as other scholarly material obtained from conducting your own research. Freely utilize appropriate and reputable academic sources, summarize in your own words and cite accordingly. You are free to use material from your own forum posts from this course in your paper, and you do not have to cite yourself if you do so. However, do not cite the lessons in your paper as this is only basic information and not meant to be cited in a research paper. - The paper must be free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors (make sure to proof read before submission)
