Strengthening Juvenile Justice Systems in the counter-terrorism context: capacity - building and peer learning among stakeholders

Svrha projekta je znanstveno i sustavno istražiti međunarodne (europske) i nacionalna politike u području radikalizacije i terorizma maloljetnika. Ciljevi su vezano uz identificiranje jakih strana i slabosti nacionalnih sustava, pravne regulative, kao i same pojavnosti radikalizacije/terorističkih kaznenih djela, te ih komparirati s širim europskim kontekstom, odnosno identificirati primjere dobre prakse u ovom području na području EU. http://www.oijj.org/en/strengtheningjjs-introduction

This project aims at identifying, promoting and strengthening juvenile justice systems’ policy responses and specialised programming to face terrorism and violent extremism in juveniles. Practices will be evaluated based on evidence and on their efficacy in countering radicalisation in children and juveniles. In order to accomplish that, the IJJO, which has acquired thorough knowledge and experience in the field, will work with partners from Member States which face the issue of radicalisation and terrorism acutely, as well as with members of the European Council for Juvenile Justice. Moreover, the participation of young people will ensure that their views are adequately taken into account. The specific objectives of the project are: To gather information, evidence and lessons learned from promising and validated policies, programmes and practices concerning terrorism and violent extremism in juveniles within 6 European juvenile justice systems; To analyse public policies responses and programmes aiming to prevent and treat violent radicalisation of juveniles through the implementation of adapted measures for children in detention, and of social reintegration programmes identified through the research; To participate in the development of effective community-based alternatives and diversion measures concerning rehabilitation programmes for radicalised children in partners’ States. To stimulate, promote and develop validated practices to be used by juvenile justice systems in the de-radicalisation, disengagement and rehabilitation of boys and girls and young adults; To disseminate knowledge through the creation and monitoring of an Online Community of Practice, and to make use of the received feedback to improve the discussed practices. To disseminate policy-oriented recommendations, lessons learned, and guidelines for EU institutions, national agencies, and judicial staff and practitioners at the European level.
