This edition of the RAN Practitioners Spotlight magazine therefore takes a look at some of the challenges related to rehabilitation and reintegration, as well as some of the approaches that have been taken, including multi-agency approaches, mentorship and engagement with families.
With foreign fighters returning from Ukraine, women and children still returning from camps in Syria and Iraq, and violent extremist and terrorist offenders (VETOs) being released from prisons across the EU, the need to effectively and successfully rehabilitate them and reintegrate them back into society has never been more acute and important.
Not only do these efforts affect large sections of our society, but this work involves numerous practitioners from multiple disciplines, including police, prison and probation services, mental health professionals, intervention providers, exit workers, local authorities, community organisations, among many others. Coordination between these varying efforts and among the different services and organisations is therefore critical.
This edition of the RAN Practitioners Spotlight magazine therefore takes a look at some of the challenges related to rehabilitation and reintegration, as well as some of the approaches that have been taken, including multi-agency approaches, mentorship and engagement with families. The publication features a number of original articles by members of RAN, papers produced by RAN Practitioners, and case studies of programmes being delivered.
As always, we want to hear from you. If you would like to contribute to future editions of Spotlight, or if you have ideas for a topic, article, interview or feature, please get in touch with the ranradaradvies [dot] nl (RAN Practitioners communications team).
