Disengagement from radicalisation |
Description
The CAPREV helps individuals disengage from radicalisation (RAN, 2018). To achieve this, social workers take charge of people in the process of violent radicalisation in order to initiate a tailor-made disengagement and desistance journey through various reintegration initiatives. The social worker offers guidance and support in a joint effort to identify protective factors and resources available to guide the intervention. CAPREV provides social inclusion to the individual, not only by accompany him, but also by engaging in different areas of his/her life, like school, work, family and friends. By doing so, they are creating a new, positive social network around the person. This help comes voluntarily or as a condition of probation.
The social worker’s job is to initiate, assist and promote this process of desistance, without forgetting the individual conditions of their client. Consequently, delinquent behaviour ends and recidivism decreases.
