Identifying Groups Vulnerable to Violent Extremism and Reducing Risks of Radicalisation
This Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) examines the body of evidence concerning the effectiveness of various approaches to the identification of specific groups vulnerable to violent extremism (VE) at a sub-national level – alongside existing intervention tactics aimed at reducing the risk of recruitment and radicalisation.
History of Risk Assessment.Bureau of Justice Assistance.
The history of risk prediction in criminal justice traces back to the early 1900s, when correctional staff relied on their own professional judgments about whether someone was likely to comply with parole conditions, for example. Modern-day assessments are more comprehensive in scope and systematic in nature. In the current landscape, it is accepted practice to use actuarial calculations to classify individuals and customize the justice response to optimize outcomes. This evolution from educated “guess” to evidence-based prediction occurred over four generations of risk assessment development, described in this section. Understanding this historical context can help practitioners and policymakers contextualize the value and utility of modern risk assessment instruments in increasing consistency, fairness, and effectiveness of the justice system.
Developing, implementing and using risk assessment for violent extremist and terrorist offenders.
Across the EU, there is a call for more specialised risk assessment tools to assess the risk of radicalisation, extremism and/or terrorism in the offender population. Several such tools have been developed and are in use at the time of writing, for example, the Extremism Risk Guidance 22+ (ERG 22+) and the Violent Extremist Risk Assessment 2 Revised (VERA-2R). More specialised tools are being developed across the EU, either in national contexts or in EU project contexts.
Tracking narrative change in the context of exstremism and terrorism: adapting the innovative moments coding system. Aggression and Violent Behavior
Existing models of deradicalisation, countering violent extremism (CVE), and counter-terrorism (CT) have lacked a clear theory of change, as well as robust empirical methodologies. This paper proposes an empirically-based systematic and transparent methodology – the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) – which is empirically sensitive, ethically defensible, and can be of use in the context of research to inform practitioner contexts. Through a case study of former violent militants, we explore the adaptation and usage of this instrument to identify and track self-narrative change in the processes of engagement and disengagement, as well as radicalisation and deradicalisation in the context of violent extremism and terrorism. We illustrate how this methodology has the potential to bring benefits to the work of researchers involved in producing guidelines for disengagement, deradicalisation or risk-reduction interventions.
