Happy to have contributed to this excellent group of reseachers, resulting in three relevant publications on gender and radicalisation. Based on a review of literature and semi-structured interviews, we mapped main views, stereotypes, biases, and gaps in literature and practice. buff.ly/3YYn2uP

Zeer relevant ihkv aanstaande wetswijziging in Nederland waarmee beoogd wordt verheerlijking van terrorisme steafbaar te stellen.
Absolutely jaw-dropping figures of UK Terrorism-related arrests.
Scholars have been warning for years that counterterrorism law is dangerous, racist, poorly conceived, largely unnecessary, and ripe for abuse.
Here is the result - its systematic use against protestors campaigning against genocide.

My new policy brief. The implications of the unprecedented budget cuts that have hit the #Counterterrorism and #prevention #PCVE sector are seriously impacting research into underlying factors and implementation of prevention programs, underming a comprehensive approach and years of lessons learned👇
How can CT & P/CVE endure in an era of shrinking budgets?
In this ICCT Policy Brief, @bibivanginkel.bsky.social highlights how austerity erodes focus on root causes & human-rights-based approaches, while offering strategies to sustain resilience.

Het probleem van terrorisme is nog lang niet opgelost. Sterker nog de dreiging is diffuser en onvoirspelbaarder georden. Het is daarom onbegrijpelijk dat de aandacht en fondsen voor preventie van terrorisme zijn verdwenen. Hebben we dan niets geleerd?

Vandaag was #bevrijdingsdag. Een dag om stil te staan bij de verworvenheden van onze vrijheid. Vrijheid om je uit te spreken. Vrijheid om te demonstreren. Hoe kan het dan dat wie dat doet gearresteerd wordt? Op welke grond? Welke vrijheid beschermen we dan eigenlijk? #5mei
