The scope of this book is to present the work of UNICRI in the field of Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PVE/CVE), and sharing the lessons learned and good practices developed in this area of work. The publication refers to the expertise gained over the last 15 years during the implementation of several programmes in the field of preventing and countering violent extremism and in particular in prison settings. Prisons can provide an environment where convicted terrorists network, recruit new members and command operations outside the prison. Most detained extremists will eventually be released and, in order to reduce the likelihood that they will re-offend, it is important to consider the potential of prisons to enable a reversal of radicalization.
