This article provides a qualitative analysis of Saudi Arabia’s Religious Rehabilitation and Disengagement Programme; a primarily ideologically-focussed initiative. It details the structure and practice of the programme and concludes that the programme’s success comes from the extensive social support given to a detainee and their families that circumvent further radicalization within families. At the time of his writing, only 35 of the 1400 participants that renounced their beliefs have been rearrested on security offences. Despite a seemingly high success rate, the article also acknowledges that while Islamist deradicalization programs possess great potential, it is not a universal solution that will work for everyone and that the focus of these programmes may be better served towards those who “are the uncommitted, the curious and those on the fence.”
