Reintegration of terrorism-related convicts

Abstract

In this presentation, we describe the counter-terrorism policies in Europe and analyse the official responses to the social reintegration issues. In the first part, we focus on how the EU has addressed the issue of social reintegration, and how member states have (or have not) done so. The second part analyses how the articulation between judicial and administrative action impacts the issue of counter-terrorism and social reintegration in different ways across the EU. The third part provides a concrete example of these issues through a critical analysis of the adoption and implementation of an administrative surveillance measure in France, the MICAS. In a conclusive section, we highlight the need for the emergence of a common assessment policy for the management of violent extremism on a European scale (Costa et al., 2021) and in conjunction with international scientific consortia (Horgan, Braddock, 2010).
