Abstract

Coping with Islamist and right-wing terrorism and extremism requires a holistic approach. This paper examines the role of prisons on two levels in this context: as part of the state risk management, i.e. the role of prisons in the security architecture on the one hand, and risk management in prisons on the other hand. By highlighting the importance of an individualised perspective on the incarcerated persons bearing in mind the heterogeneity of the phenomenon, the paper also intends to raise interest beyond the purely dogmatic issues and to include the perspective of prisons in the discussion on how to deal with terrorism and extremism.
