Advancing Corrections Journal - Edition #11 - Envisioning Corrections in 2030 - Where Should the Evidence Take Us (ACJ11-A012)
Abstract
Although ‘evidence-based approaches’ have become a hallmark for good practice in correctional services, we cannot fall into stubborn minimalism that may ignore realities on the ground. Especially for violent extremist offenders (VEOs) in conflict-inflicted areas, where scientific evidence is scarce, there is an urgent call for practice-based approaches that embrace an integration of practice-evidence, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and a focus on empowerment. This article, along with a telling example made by a NGO, discusses a potential solution to such demand in the field of deradicalization and reintegration of VEOs, and aims to fill in the hole of the universal norm.
