Correctional policies for Islamist violent extremist offenders are
often based on the premise that prisons can be hotbeds of
radicalization. The perception that inmates are susceptible to
violent extremist belief systems has given rise to a fervent
international public, political, and scholarly debate and has led
to the introduction of drastic, often expensive policies to counter
the threat of prison radicalization. But is the introduction of
these policies justified? A key question is whether violent
extremist offenders should be concentrated in separate
high-security prisons, or whether they should be integrated into
the mainstream inmate population. Prisoner Radicalization and
Terrorism Detention Policy argues that concentration strategies to
manage violent extremist offenders are often flawed - based on
untested, potentially false assumptions that are rooted in fear
rather than in facts. Little academic evidence has been produced
that can valuably inform policy making in this area. As a result,
policies to detain violent extremist offenders may be inadequately
tailored to achieve their objectives, and could even lead to an
intensification of the violent extremist threat. This book is the
first to present a detailed and systematic case study of the
decision-making and implementation process behind terrorism
detention policy. It will be essential reading for students,
scholars and policymakers researching criminal justice, terrorism
and extremism.
