HOPE - HOLISTIC RADICALISATION PREVENTION INITIATIVE

 

Successful rehabilitation of extremists highly depends on multi-agency cooperation

 

 

 

Fifty experts and practitioners participated in the fourth Transnational Thematic Workshop (TTW) that took place online on the 11th of March 2022.

This event titled “The key importance of multi-agency cooperation in P/CVE towards successful rehabilitation”. During this workshop, the Director of the Slovenian Probation Administration, Dr Danijela Mrhar Prelić, and the Head of the Slovenian Counter-Terrorism and Violence Department, Albert Černigoj, illustrated how multi-agency cooperation shouldn’t be the last step but a priority in the P/CVE field to achieve successful rehabilitative outcomes.

They provided insights on the first violent extremist offender case in Slovenia, explaining its management by the criminal justice system. The experts highlighted the involvement of different agencies in the process, although cooperation between them has faced some difficulties. They also highlighted the urgent requirement for multi-disciplinary teams as a fundamental step to holistically understanding the needs of radicalised and extremist individuals, resulting in better interventions.

 

 

 

 

Senior consultant Attila Juhász and Dr Emanuel Banutai, an expert in radicalisation and violent extremism from the Slovenian Probation Administration, shared a very fruitful presentation entitled “A regional practical perspective on the rehabilitation of R/VETOs in the prison (and probation) setting”.

Attila Juhász shared some practical and thought-provoking insights on the needs of prison systems to successfully handle and rehabilitate radicalised offenders. In his view, the prison system is unable to solve the problem by itself. He explained several system needs, stressing the crucial role of front-line staff, who should be better trained.

Emanuel Banutai shared some specific issues the Balkan region faces, focusing primarily on the Slovenian context. He presented some challenges, namely the significant workload prison and probation staff have to cope with and their very limited training on P/CVE.

The workshop allowed for relevant and thought-provoking debates on how to bridge the gaps between prison and community-based rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for violent extremist offenders. With the participants dynamically engaged through smaller break-out rooms, the discussion led to the exchange of good practices implemented, highlighting the practical challenges and potential solutions.
