Description
​

In August 2014, the Norwegian Government announced an Action Plan Against Radicalisation and Violent Extremism, which included the development and implementation of a mentoring scheme in the Norwegian Correctional Services (Butt & Tuck, 2014).
The scheme focuses on identified inmates convicted of hate crime, who are understood to be vulnerable to violent extremism, especially young inmates. It is of voluntary basis. Therefore, the staff have to work to motivate inmates to participate. Individuals with the following risk factors are considered vulnerable: lack of education, lack of work experience, criminal record, lack of affiliation, lack of social networks, little or no contact with family, drug and alcohol abuse, gang belonging, others.
 
The Mentor Corps:
  • Consists of a wide range of people with different status, both in terms of age, ethnicity, education, gender, among other features;
  • Is based on the idea of mentormatch (i.e., importance of finding a good match between the mentor and its inmates).
 
Mentors tasks will be advice and guidance, practical assistance, and conversations.
