Developing a European framework for disengagement and reintegration of extremist offenders and radicalised individuals in prison, including returning foreign terrorist fighters and their families
What We Have Achieved
The Project
What It Was About
Preventing terror attacks depends on the successful disengagement and reintegration of terrorist and extremist offenders. This can only be achieved through a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary framework with evidence-based, effective practices, cooperation among stakeholders, a solid risk assessment and continuity of care from day one.
EUTEx established such a framework by building on European knowledge, skills and products and took them further by summoning the best expertise in relevant fields. Through innovative training methods, EUTEx rolls out this framework Europe-wide.
The Partner Consortium
What You Need to Know
EUTEx involved partners from 9 countries, including countries with the highest incidence of terrorism and extremism, countries with the highest numbers of terrorist and extremist offenders in prison and countries where terrorist incidents involved recidivists. The partner organisations specialise in radicalization, risk assessment, disengagement, reintegration as well as work with women, children and communities. The project consortium included public and semi-public administrations.
