Extremism and the prison system. A handbook for practitioners : Countering islamist radicalisation
(2020)
The German prison system is currently confronted with the
challenge of having to deal with persons classified as radicalised
Islamists who have either returned from the territory of the socalled
“Islamic State” or have otherwise been convicted in the
context of Islamist-motivated offences. There is also a recurring
debate as to whether or how the specific conditions in prisons
contribute to radicalisation. At the same time, many correctional
facilities lack concepts on how to manage persons posing a
threat to public security, sympathisers, and “at-risk” individuals.
Extremism and the Prison System. A Handbook for Practitioners –
Countering Islamist Radicalisation aims to contribute to an improved
understanding of prevention measures, to analyse the impact of
individual interventions, and to embed them in a holistic approach.
Its objective is to explore possible forms of de-radicalisation work
in prisons and the extent to which detention centres and the
conditions prevailing there are to be evaluated as (de-)radicalisation
factors. In addition to the theoretical part, the handbook includes
an interactive component. It provides a guideline for practitioners
on the assessment of initial suspicions, the preparation of individual
action plans, and the selection of appropriate interventions.
