Rehabilitating terrorists

Abstract

Can Jihadis be rehabilitated? Is it possible to `de-radicalize` terrorists? This article will look at what some prison systems around the world are doing to answer those questions. The research, like the programs, is still in its infancy, so no firm conclusion is possible. However, initial signs indicate that correctional systems have a part to play in the de-radicalization of terrorists and thus could be a contributor to the fight against terrorism.
