Samenvatting

Recently, increased attention has been paid to the post-release outcomes of extremist offenders. The present article provides an overview of what is known about recidivism and reentry processes of extremist ex-detainees, and what factors impact on these processes. First, recidivism to a terrorist offense is generally low, while the recidivism rate for general offending is higher (but still much lower compared to the recidivism rate of general ex-detainees). The reentry process of extremist ex-detainees is hampered by a variety of general as well as group-specific barriers.
