The European Commission-funded Radicalisation Awareness Network Deradicalisation (DERAD) is the working group which focuses on first-line workers who are involved in deradicalisation processes. First-line deradicalisation is intended for perpetrators in prison and probation and young people who are close to violent extremist and radicalised circles. The working group looks into all forms of extremism, including religious extremism and gangs. NGOs of specialized practitioners are very innovative and successful in their deradicalisation efforts. Therefore, they will be key to success in deradicalisation. But it is crucial that statutory first-line practitioners are represented in RAN DERAD as well. This means prison and probation staff and police,representatives, especially those involved in community policing and police crime prevention., The objective of this working group is to exchange European best practices and approaches and communicate how deradicalisation interventions should work. RAN DERAD poses some basic questions and issues on “first-line deradicalisation”:, RAN DERAD hosted a meeting on 4-5 2012 June in Stockholm with 40 practitioners active in de-radicalisation. Attendees were mainly, but not exclusively, coming from the NGO sector, either working in prisons, with youth, with communities, etc. Participants stressed the similarities in the roots of different types of radicalism. RAN DERAD has had its second meeting on 10-11 October 2012 in Barcelona. The following paper outlines some of the core policy recommendations of the Working Group.
