The Radicalization, Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Recidivism Network

In September 2021, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), in partnership with Parallel Networks, was awarded a FY2021 Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) grant to set up the Radicalization, Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Recidivism Network (4R Network).

The goal of the 4R Network is to establish a national ecosystem of actors bound by common standards to facilitate a whole-of-society approach to extremist offender reintegration and recidivism reduction that guarantees every actor tasked with supervising extremist offenders in-prison and/or in-community in the U.S. has adequate knowledge and access to evidence-based support for reintegration.

To date, there exists no formal, in-prison recidivism reduction program tailored for convicted terrorists, nor a fully realized post-release initiative to support the reentry and reintegration of terrorism-related offenders in the country. The 4R Network seeks to fill gaps in both knowledge and programming by constructing a national ecosystem of multiagency and multisectoral stakeholders bound by common standards to facilitate a whole-of-society approach to extremist offender reintegration and recidivism reduction in the U.S.

CEP is leading the 4R Network and invites relevant stakeholders and actors to be a part of this innovative effort. The purpose of the network is to provide those directly or indirectly facilitating rehabilitation, reintegration, and recidivism reduction programming for extremism-related offenders across the United States with the knowledge and evidence-based practices necessary to support their work.

The 4R Network provides its members with:

• 16 Monthly Online Sessions

  dedicated to enhancing awareness specific to the rehabilitation and reintegration needs of extremist offenders, led by national and international experts.

• 10 Additional Sessions

  for practitioners and interventionists (in conjunction with Beyond Conflict and Inside Circle).

Sessions include first-hand insights from CEP’s in-prison/post-release deradicalization and support initiative, Alternative Pathways.
