The Palacio de Congresos in Cádiz was the venue for the II National Congress on Terrorism and Prison held from 20 to 23 May. The event brought together experts, professionals from the sector, victims of terrorism, academics, civil associations and social organisations to debate and reflect on the evolution of organisational and ideological extremism with criminal results.
The congress addressed crucial issues such as policies and strategies against terrorism at international and national level, intelligence in prison systems, the terrorist threat in the prison environment, research and terrorism in this field, the role of female jihadists, radicalisation processes, as well as the impact of prison on those convicted of terrorism, the academic view of radicalisation and trends in radicalisation.
Among the participants were Javier Ruipérez Canales, Director of Research and Projects at the Euro-Arab Foundation and Director of Strategic Communication at the European Knowledge Hub for the Prevention of Radicalisation of the European Commission, who took part in the session on policies and strategies against terrorism at an international level, on Tuesday 20th. Likewise, Daniel F. Pérez-García, Researcher and Head of International Projects at the Euro-Arab Foundation, took part in the last day, addressing trends in radicalisation.
