The R2PRIS course aims to enhance practitioners’ skills to prevent and reduce the risk of radicalization and violent extremism inside prisons.

This innovative training program certifies professionals at different levels of the prison administration in the use of tools to identify, interpret, evaluate and report signals of radicalization, including the approaches to respond appropriately to potentially vulnerable individuals at risk of radicalization.

This course prepares technical staff on how to assess and identify inmates’ level of vulnerability and the radicalization stage using the Individual Radicalization Screening (IRS) tool. The IRS Individual Radicalization Screening follows a structured professional judgement approach based on putative risk dimensions and pathways to radicalization and violent extremism identified in the scientific literature. This assessment tool considers different behavioural, emotional and cognitive dimensions related to
radicalization to provide a detailed picture of the risks associated with the specificities of each inmate
assessed.

Certified professionals will be able to work with the R2PRIS Radicalization Prevention Toolset, which includes the following instruments:

• HV Helicopter View;
• FBOG Frontline Behavioural Observation Guidelines;
• IRS Individual Radicalisation Screening.
