“…It is important to note that not all violent extremist offenders are equally loyal to their cause or devoted to their views (Barrelle, 2014;Hansen & Lid, 2020). The extent to which individuals revise their beliefs tends to vary greatly from one person to another, as most instances of deradicalization fall somewhere between the extremes of "I left the group, but my views that I held within the group at the time, actually haven't really changed that much since I left the group" and "No!…”

“…Violent extremist offenders are variously marked as "simply wicked" (Monaghan, 2013, p. 7), "incredibly dangerous to public safety" (Ryan et al, 2007, p. 100), and "beyond the possibility of change" (Glowacki, 2013, p. 9). The perception that ideological commitment makes reformation or reintegration more difficult, or even impossible, seems to add to the impression that those convicted of extremism-related offenses represent a higher risk to society than other offenders (Hansen & Lid, 2020;Hodwitz, 2019). Strikingly, while there are dramatic differences between extremist and non-extremist releasees when it comes to reoffending, this "assumed 'truth'" (Glowacki, 2013, p.…”

This article provides a critical comparison of the present knowledge base on desistance from crime and current writings on disengagement and deradicalization from violent extremism. Underlying the comparison is the fundamental premise that while violent extremism is a particular and perhaps egregious form of crime, it is a form of crime nonetheless, meaning that violent extremist offenders are not beyond the remits of the desistance framework. As of yet, however, there have been few attempts to connect these two research domains in a systematic way. Against this background, the present article intends to trace the outlines of both bodies of knowledge so as to determine the degree of overlap between these two kindred literatures. The results of this integrative literature indicate that studies on criminal desistance and violent extremist disengagement echo the same basic mechanisms of change, but also that differences in context affect how these mechanisms take shape. In highlighting the implications for theory, the findings of this review illustrate, above all, how a closer association between these two fields of study enriches our understanding of both.

“…According to Jennifer Philippa Eggert in (Hansen & Lid, 2020), considering gender roles in deradicalization is important for two reasons. First, at a practical level, it allows us to develop deradicalization and disengagement strategies that address the situation of both male and female (former) members of terrorist groups who are willing to leave (or have left) the movement.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the construction of jihad through redefining jihad within the context of da’wah (religious outreach) against radicalism among female ulama (clerics) in West Java. The study aims to understand the meaning, motives, and experiences associated with this construction of jihad, particularly in the context of addressing religious radicalism affecting women in the regions of Garut, Tasikmalaya, and Tasikmalaya City. Method: The research methodology employed is constructivist qualitative, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation. Purposive sampling was used to select informants, including female ulama, women leaders and activists, radicalism observers, and members of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Ulama Council in the specified districts. The study focuses on the religious approach taken through da'wah in women's taklim assemblies (Islamic study groups) to construct jihad as a solution to the problem of religious radicalism among women. Result: The study reveals several key aspects of the construction of jihad in da’wah against radicalism among female ulama: Meaning of Jihad: The jihad of female clerics involves preaching, contextualization within hijrah (migration), attendance at taklim assemblies, and fostering diversity. Motives for Jihad: Motives include healing women's psychological wounds, providing a dialogue space for congregations, fostering tolerance among congregations, addressing radicalism targeting women, and broadening women's understanding of moderate and humanist Islamic teachings. Experiences of Jihad: Experiences of jihad include participation in taklim assembly studies, engaging in open dialogic spaces, assisting the wives of former terrorist convicts, providing mental health therapy, critiquing da'wah on social media, strengthening national insight, and providing education on the rights and relationships of husbands and wives in the family. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study demonstrates that the construction of jihad in da’wah against radicalism among female ulama involves multifaceted meanings, motives, and experiences. The efforts of female ulama in addressing religious radicalism encompass preaching, dialogue, education, and psychological support. By redefining jihad in this manner, female ulama contribute significantly to countering radicalism, fostering tolerance, and promoting a broad, moderate understanding of Islam among congregations, particularly women, in the specified regions of West Java.
