Policy Recommendation and Improved Communication Tools for Law Enforcement and Security Agencies Preventing Violent Radicalisation
Pericles aims to develop a comprehensive approach to prevent and counter violent radicalisation and extremism. So far, it has surveyed selected European countries to provide an inventory of programmes and projects involved in extremism prevention. Results from gap analyses and stakeholder interviews support findings that more evaluations are needed to enhance the effectiveness of existing instruments, and that evidence-based results should be effectively communicated to stakeholders. Current activities in Pericles are centred on mapping the needs of European law enforcement agencies and conducting interviews with family members, convicted terrorists, and former radicals.
