The DARE project’s first output is now available – a policy brief entitled Effectiveness of counter-radicalisation policies: Preliminary research findings and recommendations from European experts in deradicalisation and counter-terrorism.

The policy brief is based on the preliminary results of the analysis of existing security policies and interventions in radicalisation and counter-radicalisation at the EU, national and local levels. The findings draw on analysis of around 200 policy documents as well as on 25 interviews with experts from policy and practice in fields related to counter-radicalisation, anti-extremism and deradicalisation.

All interviewees are practitioners of counter-radicalisation, countering violent extremism (CVE) and deradicalisation – representing a range of institutions at the national and the EU level (RAN, Europol). Researchers interviewed experts from Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Norway, Poland, the Russian Federation, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Turkey, Spain, UK and Israel between January and March 2018.

The selected experts provided their assessment of current dynamics of radicalisation processes in Europe and on the strategies to counteract them.
