Abstract

The number of violent extremists in prison and on probation in the United States is clearly increasing, highlighting the need for guidance and knowledge on how to best reintegrate this population. Using a mixed-methods approach comprised of interview and survey data, our study describes current resources, practices, and needs of federal probation officers managing individuals with a history of engagement in violent extremism. We identified three key issues relevant to the management of violent extremist releasees: mental health assistance, risk assessment tools, and recidivism rates.

Importantly, all negative assessments were related to the UK’s national PVE strategy PREVENT. See Hassan et al., A Systematic Review on the Outcomes of Primary and Secondary Prevention Programs.

33 For especially dangerous offenders, probation officers are allowed to override the results. There are two types of overrides available to probation officers. Policy overrides are available when the offender is in a specified category of high-risk offenders (e.g., sex offenders). Discretionary overrides are used when the offender does not fall into a specified category, but the officer nonetheless believes that more intensive supervision is required. See Thomas H. Cohen, Bailey Pendergast, and Scott W.
