ICYMI: 4R Network Launches Member Workshop Series



(New York, N.Y.) — Last Wednesday, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) hosted
the first in a series of 26 online workshops for members of the Radicalization,
Rehabilitation, Reintegration, and Recidivism Network (4R Network
<[link removed]>), a network of stakeholders that facilitates a
whole-of-society approach to extremist and terrorist offender reintegration and
recidivism reduction. The network, funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS)’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3),
connects those tasked with the monitoring and supervision of extremist
offenders to practitioners with expertise in reintegration and
deradicalization-oriented programming. The aim is to ensure that every actor
tasked with supervising extremist offenders in-prison and/or in-community has
adequate knowledge and access to evidence-based support for reintegration.



The first online workshop

, another DHS-supported initiative. The workshop also included a presentation
from Beyond Conflict’s Director of Research Dr. Vivian Khedari DePierro that
explored the need for proper physical and psychological trauma training for
those aiding reintegrating extremist offenders.



“CEP is excited to offer 4R Network members access to renowned subject matter
experts covering a wide-range of topics relevant to the reintegration and
rehabilitation of extremist offenders in the United States,” said CEP Executive
Director David Ibsen. “We are proud that with the launch of our workshop series
that the 4R Network is moving the U.S. closer to a whole-of-society approach to
extremist offender reintegration and recidivism reduction, and we encourage
practitioners to connect with us and join our growing community.”



Membership in the 4R Network is open to members of the law enforcement,
criminal justice, and mental health communities as well as psychosocial support
providers, P/CVE practitioners, former extremists, survivors, religious
leaders, and other individuals interested in exploring best practices of the
rehabilitation and reintegration of extremists as well as how to better address
the needs of convicted extremists.
