Outcomes
Disengagement
-
Individuals convicted of terrorism-related offences, and other violent extremist inmates, are disengaged, rehabilitated and reintegrated into the community post release
Extremist offenders released into the community can include individuals who have been charged for a terrorist offence or have been identified as at risk of radicalisation due to certain behaviours or associates. Peers and associates can have a negative influence on their behaviour when released from prison, helping to reinforce personal grievances and an extremist ideology.
