Specific issues on terrorists and radicalized convicts reintegration in open custody – TROC

The project will use a mixed-methods approach, combining
quantitative analysis based on factorial surveysand data collected through judicial documents with qualitative research interviews and narrative methods. The innovative contribution of the research resides in the analysis produced by cross-referencing data collected among professional actors and
ITC/ODSR, their families and relatives.
Data will be collected using qualitative methods (narrative and semi-directive interviews, observations) and quantitative methods (questionnaires, use of internal documents, evaluation of tools).

The project will produce empirical analyses of professional practices, psychosocial factors in the social reintegration of persons incarcerated for terrorism, and individual and collective dynamics of disengagement from violent extremism. It will also contribute to informing policy decisions by establishing the conditions for supporting the prevention of radicalization and by identifying the brakes and levers that have an impact on the social reintegration of persons convicted of

The aim of this multidisciplinary action-research, led by a team of sociologists, psychologists and jurists, is to study the issues and dynamics of the social reintegration brakes and levers of ITC/ODSR in open custody. The study is focused on the problematic of the interlinkages between the individual and collective dimensions of their social reintegration by exploring two main hypotheses: (H1) socio-judicial practices in open custody for ITC/ODSR reintegration require to identify specific issues linked to adjustments of interpretations and expectations between the main actors involved in their reintegration process and societal requests; (H2) social reintegration of ITC/ODSR in open custody is linked to the dynamics of individual resistance and collective efficacy.
The project will deliver empirically grounded analyses into the professional practices and psychosocial factors of ITC/ODSR social reintegration. The project will use a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis based on factorial surveys and data collected through judicial documents with qualitative research interviews and narrative methods. The innovative contribution of the research resides in the analysis produced by cross-referencing data collected among professional actors and ITC/ODSR, their families and relatives. For both hypotheses, we will collect qualitative and quantitative data from: (a) professional practices of judicial and association actors; (b) ITC/ODSR families and collective relationships; (c) their social trajectories and experiences.
