Evaluation of counterterrorism policy
Report | 10-08-2010 | pdf-document | 74 KB
This WODC report presents the findings of a literature study describing and analyzing different methodological approaches to evaluations, assessing counter-terrorism activities, measures and provisions, both ex ante and ex post. The following topics are addressed: Ways in which theories that underlie policy activities and measures can be reconstructed and analyzed.
Jihadists and the Internet
Report | 25-05-2010 | pdf-document | 0.49 MB
At the beginning of 2007, the NCTb made the observation, in the in-depth study entitled ‘Jihadis and the Internet’ (hereafter to be referred to as the in-depth study), that jihadists were using the Internet in many ways as a resource, for example for propaganda and recruitment. In the same study the NCTb concluded that it was improbable that jihadists were using the Internet as a weapon or considering it a target. Both the Internet and jihadism are continuing to develop. That is why it became necessary to review the original assessment of the threat in the form of this ‘2009 update’. The accent is on changes that have occurred since the period from the end of 2006 to the end of 2009.
Islamic and extreme right radicalism

Symmary of the report of the WODC for the NCTb. This report presents the results of a literature study on Islamic and extreme right-wing radicalisation in the Netherlands. These two forms of radicalisation are presently considered by the government as the most threatening types of radicalisation. The aim of the study is to offer a comparative analysis of the relevant insights provided by the literature on both types of radicalisation.
Countering Violent Extremist Narratives
Report | 22-02-2010 | pdf-document | 0.59 MB
On the 4th and 5th of June 2009 the NCTb organised an expert meeting about ‘counter narratives against violent extremism’ together with the ‘Centre for Terrorism and Counter Terrorism (CTC) and the British and Canadian embassies. The main focus of the meeting was to fathom what is behind violent extremist ideology and to draw up possible counter-arguments. International academic experts policy advisors attended the meeting. Because the NCTb, as co-host, received many positive remarks about the contributions and discussions that day, it was decided to ask all speakers to put their thoughts in writing. This bundle contains their contributions.
Jihadist terrorism in the Netherlands
Report | 28-01-2010 | pdf-document | 77 KB
Summary of the WODC report 'Jihadist terrorism in the Netherlands – A description based on closed police investigations'. What is the nature of jihadist terrorism in the Netherlands at the outset of the 21st century when we base our analysis on information the police gathered about this phenomenon? That is the core question of this research which is based on police files. Twelve (large-scale) criminal investigations that were coducted in the period between July 2001 and July 2005 are analysed. Three dimensions of jihadist terrorism are focused: 1. jihadist corporations, 2. the activities performed in these corporations and 3. the jihadist actors.
