How does deradicalisation work in Dutch prison units?

In Dutch prison units for terrorists, work is being done on the deradicalisation of jihadists. According to NRC, this is a complex process in which the level of dangerousness is difficult to assess.

The approach focuses on individual guidance and conversations. This is to reduce radical ideas and prevent repeat offending.

According to NRC, there are also risks. It is difficult to determine the extent of the risk of re-radicalisation and whether someone actually becomes less dangerous.

The approach in these units is, according to NRC, still developing. The best way to make deradicalisation successful is being sought.
