O7 – Multi-agency cooperation guide for the effective implementation & follow-up of deradicalisation / disengagement / rehabilitation programmes
|
|
Description
|
This Output aims to provide policy-makers, prison and probation agencies and community organisations with guidelines for multi-agency cooperation in regards to the topic at hand, namely the prevention of radicalisation and the management of Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs) and individuals considered at risk of engaging in violent extremism in a prison and probation context. A one-size-fits-all solution does not exist because EU Member States vary in many ways, including in legislation and how prison and probation systems are organised. However, multi-agency cooperation is crucial in the management of risks related to radicalisation and to ensure that violent extremist offenders are provided with opportunities for rehabilitation.
