After the fall of ISIS in the Levant,\\xa0 hundreds of foreign terrorist fighters have been incarcerated in Syria, Iraq or their home countries in the West.\\xa0 In addition, radicalised potential terrorists have already been released or will be released soon.\\xa0 Many of these individuals\\xa0 minimised their role in the atrocities committed by ISIS or claim that they have left their past behind them or. As the focus more and more shifts on their rehabilitation, many fear that some of these terrorist offenders might hide their true intentions.
In this episode, Lucinda Creighton is joined by CEP adviser Ian Acheson to discuss the phenomenon of false compliance by terrorist offenders. Ian Acheson is the co-author of a discussion paper entitled "Hiding in plain sight? Disguised compliance by terrorist offenders" published this week as part of a collaboration between the Counter Extremism Project and the European Policy Centre. The paper raises awareness of the danger posed by terrorist deception and provides recommendations on how this risk can be tackled.
