Practical Guide to the Deradicalisation of Youngsters
Author(s):
The radicalisation of Muslim youths is a much-discussed topic, in which field the state and municipalities have implemented a series of instruments. The radicalisation of young right-wing extremists, however, has often remained underexposed or even dismissed as negligible. This practical guide therefore explicitly invites municipalities to pursue serious policy in the field of radical right-wing youths. FORUM compiled this guide largely on the basis of the findings of the pilot in Winschoten in particular yielded highly valuable insights and experience. Although the guide is primarily intended for municipal authorities, other chain partners, such as youth work agencies, the police, educational boards, teachers and job centres may also avail themselves of the useful instruments and recommendations that it contains. This guide is primarily focused on the process of developing a specific local approach to deradicalisation, instead of attempting to provide a blueprint for such an approach that is to be implemented nationally. The local context is and remains a determining factor for the manner in which process and approaches of this kind are developed.
