We have conducted interviews with 47 practitioners in prison, probation and NGOs working directly with terrorist and extremist offenders on how risk assessment tools, disengagement and reintegration methods are used in practice.  

 

Usually they build and add on existing expertise and methods.

We developed the EUTEx training course that draws on best practice examples across Europe. 

 

The training is built of 3 modules and consists of an online component and in-person training events in Vienna, Stockholm and Tirana (first training edition).
