Opis

Prison Radicalization and Terrorism Detention Policy argues that correctional strategies to manage violent extremist offenders are flawed – based on untested, potentially false assumptions that are rooted in fear rather than in facts and evidence. It presents a detailed and systematic case study of the decision-making and implementation process behind terrorism detention policy.
