    About the Series

    The webinar series aims to identify a conceptual understanding and appreciation of the importance of rehabilitation and aftercare efforts in countering violent extremism. Driven by empirical evidence and case studies, the webinar series also intends to provide an overview on terrorist and extremist rehabilitation and deradicalisation efforts as well as the latest trends and developments in the landscape.

    Abstract

    Comprehensive counterterrorism policies, which include kinetic and non-kinetic measures, are key to combat violent extremism. In this regard, terrorist rehabilitation programmes are an essential element in most national counterterrorism campaigns as governments and the community at large seek ways in which the extremist and terrorist threat can be effectively and sustainably contained or eliminated, beyond the incarceration of radicals.

    In this webinar, Prof Andrew Silke, Dr Omar Ashour and Dr Feisal Hassan will analyse the growing significance of rehabilitation in counter-terrorism and provide their perspectives on the desired and practical results of rehabilitation programmes. In their capacity as Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) specialists and practitioners, they will highlight case studies of deradicalisation and disengagement approaches to extremist rehabilitation, as well as provide an overview of the developments related to and challenges of rehabilitation.
