“…To eliminate gaps in knowledge and skills, it is necessary to focus on learning approaches in different countries, which will allow identifying possible problems. The training should involve the establishment of possible risks, which will be aimed at strengthening social stability (Vejvodová & Kolář, 2020). The presented works consider the possible risks of the prison staff.…”

The aim of the work is to optimise the training of prison staff in Ukraine according to international standards. The aim was achieved through the use of analysis, comparison, consistency coefficient, coefficient of efficiency, Spearman coefficient. The authors found that orientation to the system of training prison staff in Sweden can be used to transform the Ukrainian training system (0.93). This contributed to the development of learning mechanisms that included a combination of organisational, social, and psychological principles; ensured the relationship between theoretical and practical training. The development of practical skills and digital competence was also taken into account. It was revealed that the respondents achieved professional competence (7.2) and acquired skills in learning theoretical material (6.8) while solving situational problems. Solving real situations primarily affected the development of professional competence (7.3) and psychological skills (7.0). The practical significance of the work is transforming the prison staff training system based on innovative approaches.

“…Corrections agencies delivering specialised and individualised rehabilitation programs designed to challenge radicalised views (Cherney & Belton, 2021). Training initiatives and awareness programs with corrective services staff focused on the detection and prevention of both radicalisation and violent extremism (Vejvodová & Kolář, 2020). Re‐entry programs focused on building pro‐social networks and access to support services to assist with prisoner release (Cherney, 2021).…”

“…Prisons are widely believed to provide a prime opportunity for radicalisation to flourish, threatening the safety and security of both inmates and the community more broadly (van der Heide & Kearney, 2020). Training initiatives and awareness programs with corrective services staff may assist in the detection and prevention of both radicalisation and violent extremism (Vejvodová & Kolář, 2020). In an attempt to prevent the spread of radicalised ideologies behind bars, corrective services agencies often segregate radicalised individuals from the general prison population (Jones & Narag, 2018).…”

BackgroundCriminal justice agencies are well positioned to help prevent the radicalisation of individuals and groups, stop those radicalised from engaging in violence, and reduce the likelihood of terrorist attacks. This Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) presents the existing evidence and gaps in the evaluation research.ObjectivesTo identify the existing evidence that considers the effectiveness of criminal justice interventions in preventing radicalisation, violent extremism and terrorism.Search MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of the academic and grey literature to locate relevant studies for the EGM. Our search locations included the Global Policing Database (GPD), eight electronic platforms encompassing over 20 academic databases, five trial registries and over 30 government and non‐government websites. The systematic search was carried out between 8 June 2022 and 1 August 2022.Selection CriteriaWe captured criminal justice interventions published between January 2002 and December 2021 that aimed to prevent radicalisation, violent extremism, and/or terrorism. Criminal justice agencies were broadly defined to include police, courts, and corrections (both custodial and community). Eligible populations included criminal justice practitioners, places, communities or family members, victims, or individuals/groups who are radicalised or at risk of becoming radicalised. Our map includes systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials, and strong quasi‐experimental studies. We placed no limits on study outcomes, language, or geographic location.Data Collection and AnalysisOur screening approach differed slightly for the different sources, but all documents were assessed in the systematic review software program DistillerSR on the same final eligibility criteria. Once included, we extracted information from studies using a standardised form that allowed us to collect key data for our EGM. Eligible systematic reviews were assessed for risk of bias using the AMSTAR 2 critical appraisal tool.Main ResultsThe systematic search identified 63,763 unique records. After screening, there were 70 studies eligible for the EGM (from 71 documents), of which two were systematic reviews (assessed as moderate quality), 16 were randomised controlled trials, and 52 were strong quasi‐experimental studies. The majority of studies (n = 58) reported on policing interventions. Limited evidence was found related to courts or corrections interventions. The impact of these interventions was measured by a wide variety of outcomes (n = 50). These measures were thematically grouped under nine broad categories including (1) terrorism, (2) extremism or radicalisation, (3) non‐terror related crime and recidivism, (4) citizen perceptions/intentions toward the criminal justice system and government, (5) psychosocial, (6) criminal justice practitioner behaviours/attitudes/beliefs, (7) racially targeted criminal justice practices, (8) investigation efficacy, and (9) organisational factors. The most commonly assessed outcomes included measures of terrorism, investigation efficacy, and organisational factors. Very limited research assessed intervention effectiveness against measures of extremism and/or radicalisation.Authors’ ConclusionsConducting high‐quality evaluation research on rare and hidden problems presents a challenge for criminal justice research. The map reveals a number of significant gaps in studies evaluating criminal justice responses to terrorism and radicalisation. We conclude that future research should focus attention on studies that consolidate sound measurement of terrorism‐related outcomes to better capture the potential benefits and harms of counter‐terrorism programs, policies and practices which involve criminal justice agencies.
