Men who had moderate probabilities of indicators of a chaotic home environment, including drug use, mental health problems, but notably low probabilities of abuse indicators configurations (Unstable Home) scored significantly higher on our proxy measure for susceptibility to violent extremism.

Using latent class analysis, we find four clusters relating to (a) high overall ACEs; (b) child abuse victimisation; (c) unstable home environment; and (d) low ACEs.
