Understanding Deradicalization: Methods, Tools and Programs for Countering Violent Extremism
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the different aspects of deradicalization theories, programs and methods.
It
analyzes the practical and theoretical aspects of deradicalization
programs and the methods being employed to bring extremists and
terrorist back to a non-violent life. The book includes in-depth case
studies on programs and former extremists, including interviews with
former German neo-Nazis and families of Jihadists who have received
deradicalization counselling. Using a coherent theory of radicalization
and deradicalization, it integrates existing programs into a typology
and methodology regarding the effects and concepts behind
deradicalization. In addition, a current state of the art assessment of
deradicalization programs around the world provides a collection of
programs and landscapes worldwide. It thereby functions as a unique
guide for practitioners and policymakers in need of evaluation or
construction of such programs, as well as a resource pool for academics
interested in research about deradicalization programs and processes.
The major aim of this book is to consolidate the existing scholarship on
deradicalization and to move the field forward by proposing a coherent
theory of deradicalization, including ways to measure effectiveness,
standard methods and procedures, different actors of such programs and
cooperation on national and international level. In essence, this work
enables the reader to identify how, when and why deradicalization
programs work, how they can be built and structured, and to identify
their limitations.
This book will be of interest to students of radicalisation, counter-terrorism, radical Islam, criminology, security studies and IR.
