Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite their widespread adoption, little is known about the content and implementation of case-managed programs targeting individuals at risk of radicalisation and known extremists. This study examined data on one state-based case-managed program implemented by police in Australia – referred to as Intervention 01. Drawing on case note information for a sample of clients and interviews with intervention staff and clients, data are presented on the radicalisation risk factors amongst program beneficiaries, client participation and intervention goals, forms of assistance, and family member involvement and support. Five client case studies are described outlining the experiences of program beneficiaries and lessons are highlighted relating to intervention delivery and the disengagement process. This study provides insights into the practical realities of delivering programs to counter violent extremism, focusing on factors that influence client change and facilitate and inhibit client progress. Implications for the implementation and evaluation of programs to assist radicalised individuals are considered.
