Radicalisation in the Afghan National Police

Doctoral student Robert Zaman, in his capacity as Visiting Researcher with the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies (AISS) in Kabul and with financial support by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), completed and published his findings of trends of radicalization among the ranks of the Afghan National Police (ANP) on 2-December-2015.

Making the distinction between political deviance, religious extremism, and social intolerance, 1498 uniformed rank and file personnel, 151 commissioned officers, and 8 uniformed religious leaders from among the ANP were surveyed on their views toward the political system in Afghanistan, anti-government elements including the Taliban, democracy in light of Islamic values, and women and human rights.
