Title: Violent Terrorists and Extremists: What contributes to their de-radicalization, or disengagement?

Summary: In the last decades Europe suffers more and more from the terrorist attacks. Most of the offenders of the European attacks actually grew up in that same country where they performed the attacks; so-called homegrown terrorists. In 2014 dozens of religiously inspired criminals were convicted in Europe. In many cases of conviction to prison, they rehabilitate, the criminals in order to get them reintegrated in the society. But only a few cases are known in which after extremists had done their sentence, they came out de-radicalized. So far it is unclear what kind of rehabilitation program would lead to the best result when it comes to the rehabilitation of extremists. The overall purpose of this study is to gain more insight into what factors contribute to de-radicalization, or disengagement of jihadi terrorists and extremists. Therefore the main research question is: What factors contribute to the de-radicalization or disengagement of jihadi terrorists and extremists in Western Europe since 2001? In order to formulate an answer to this question a thematic analysis is conducted. The main finding of this case study is that the factors that most often contribute to the de-radicalization, or disengagement of jihadi terrorists and extremists have an individualistic backdrop. Mostly they are led by the individual disillusionment with the ideology, religion and organization.
