This Brief provides a theoretical and conceptual development of a
new Risk Assessment Toolbox (RAT) for the early detection of
violent extremists. It is based on a neurocognitive perspective,
conceptualized as 'neuroplasticity-in-action' arising from
brain-based neural patterns expressed in mind-based cognitive
pathways likely to form a mind-set of violent extremism. This
neurocognitive-based Risk Assessment Toolbox (RAT) is comprised of
two distinct components: a cognitive indicators instrument that
serves as an early detection checklist for trained practitioners,
and a software visualisation program. The Brief includes: A
framework of contemporary approaches to the risk assessment of
violence as well as the background context for the current research
project on 'violent extremism' and its related concepts of
'terrorism' and 'radicalisation,' out of which the RAT was
developed. A detailed overview of RAT and a pilot case study
experiment to highlight the practical value and utility of this
neurocognitive Risk Assessment Toolbox. Preliminary research
findings of a study conducted with a sample of recognized experts
(academics and practitioners) in several countries around the
world, to fine tune and validate the risk parameters of the two
components that constitute RAT (Risk Assessment Toolbox). The
current stage of development of RAT as a practitioner-based system
for the early detection of potentially violent extremists as well
as its strategic intelligence implications for using a
neurocognitive risk assessment approach to violent extremism is
discussed. Research limitations and plans for future research
studies. This work will be of interest to researchers in
Criminology and Criminal Justice interested in studying violent
extremism, terrorism and crime prevention and intervention and
policing, as well as researchers in related fields of Forensic
Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Social Work or Social
Intervention.
