This timely special issue looks at a current pressing societal challenge that is truly global in its existence but very local in the way it plays out in various geographical, social and political contexts. Terrorism and extremism are undoubtedly among the biggest problems the world is facing today and is leaving in its wake a trail of death and destruction where the human and social costs are perhaps more significant than wars fought between countries on the world stage. These realities breed suspicion, hatred and feelings of revenge and invariably result in a spiral of violence that seemingly has no end. Not only is there a need to explore the various factors leading to violent youth radicalisation, it is clear that young people need to be considered not as victims ‘at risk’ but rather as responsible agents of positive change. This issue focuses on violent youth radicalisation in the context of Professor Gavrielides’ ‘The Youth Empowerment and Innovation Project (YEIP)’ which looked at the problem of violent youth radicalisation across seven European Countries. The project sought to propose a uniquely different way of combatting violent youth radicalisation by proposing an alternative to punitive means so often favoured by governments. That alternative proposed was to use Positive psychology and the Good Lives model to intervene with young people at risk of violent radicalisation focusing on positive identity and well-being on the premise that young people who had a positive view of themselves would be less likely to be drawn into violent radicalisation.
This special issue of Youth Voice Journal examines recent scholarship tackling core aspects of elevating modern education and empowering young learners and brings together empirical findings across critical facets of education needing attention among today’s shifting realities. The studies contained in this issue provide well-timed data and recommendations to guide policies and teaching methods in line with 21st-century realities. The authors employ focused empirical research across contexts – from preschool to higher education – combined with analysis of past techniques. Findings shed light on improvements ranging from teacher professional development and student evaluation to virtual learning models and nurturing non-cognitive skills. Across diverse methodologies and populations, common threads emerge around building adaptable, supportive educational environments. The studies analyze challenges and opportunities emerging from evolving technologies, social contexts, and educational paradigms. While wide-ranging, the research collectively highlights changes needing proactive responses to better serve youth development. Additional scholarship building on these findings can further inform evidence-based policies and teaching methods. Guest Editor: Liudmyla H.

This Training Handbook was produced as part of the Erasmus+ funded project “Glocal”. The data on which the book is based was collected over two years through the GLOCAL project, which aimed to create a training package about the climate change and to gather 10 simple and practical solutions to be followed by each of us as teachers allowing others from across Europe to replicate. No ‘big words’ or complex solutions. We simply intend to use our (students’ and teachers’ alike) common efforts, experience, knowledge and willingness to find out the most efficient 10 ways to fig global warming and try to stop the damage we produce to our own planet. The ebook was co-funded by Erasmus+ and the project was coordinated by Dr. Theo Gavrielides.
This Practitioners’ Guide is a practical tool for those who want to apply restorative justice practices to cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) including domestic violence (DV). This step-by-step, evidence-based guide can be used where harm has come to the attention of the criminal justice system or community-based restorative justice services. The Guide is relevant independently of the chosen restorative justice practice (e.g. direct/ indirect mediation, family group conferencing, circles). Due to the complex nature of DV and IPV cases, it is expected that this Guide is also applicable in less complex cases including violence against property and the person, theft, youth violence and anti-social behaviour. This up-to-date Guide was put together following original and desk-based research (Gavrielides, 2023; 2019), and with the aim of helping practitioners to create a safe and competent restorative dialogue when managing IPV and DV cases. It draws from the principles of the European Commission’s Victims’ Directive and human rights standards drawn from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The research behind this Guide was partly funded by the European Commission and is endorsed by the Restorative Justice for All International Institute. It targets European audiences and practitioners both within and outside of the criminal justice system. To cite this ebook: Gavrielides, T. (2024).

This E-book was produced as part of the project “Glocal”. The data on which the book is based was collected over two years through the project, which aimed to create a report from the participating European countries about the climate change, environmental harm and practical solutions to be followed across Europe. In this comprehensive report, a comparative analysis has been conducted presenting findings from the 5 partner countries, which is being followed by chapters in partners’ native languages. Following this, an evaluation of the overall project and its activities of implementation is being presented. Policy recommendations are one of the most important part of the report to be shared and implemented in the future. Coordinated by the Restorative Justice for All International Institute and delivered in partnership with Carmen Sylva Art College, İ.ova Youth Art Culture Organisation, Lycée Beauséjour and Eruditus Language School.

The Manitoba Law Journal (MLJ) is a peer-reviewed journal founded in 1961. The MLJ's current mission is to provide lively, independent and high calibre commentary on legal events in Manitoba or events of special interest to our community.The MLJ aims to bring diverse and multidisciplinary perspectives to the issues it studies, drawing on authors from Manitoba, Canada and beyond. Its studies are intended to contribute to understanding and reform not only in our community, but around the world. As part of our commitment to you, our team is pleased to announce the release of Canada’s premier publication on “Project Osage,” an inter-agency security operation that executed the largest terrorism-related sting in Canadian history. Canadian Terror: Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives on the Toronto 18 Terrorism Trials engages a multidisciplinary perspective that unites criminological, legal, and security analyses to consider the processes, as well as the shortcomings, involved in investigating and prosecuting terrorism in Canada. We are honoured that Canadian Terror is edited and co-authored by prominent Canadian academics
In this ground-breaking and important book, Clark McCauley and Sophia Moskalenko identify twelve mechanisms of political radicalization that can move individuals, groups, and the masses to increased sympathy and support for political violence, drawing on wide-ranging case histories to show striking parallels between 1800s anti-czarist terrorism, 1970s anti-war terrorism, and 21st century jihadist terrorism. In the context of the Islamic State's worldwide effort to radicalize moderate Muslims for jihad, they advance a model that differentiates radicalization in opinion from radicalization in action, and suggests different strategies for countering these different forms of radicalization. Their controversial conclusion is that the same mechanisms are at work in radicalizing both terrorists and states targeted by terrorists. The implications of this conclusion are as relevant for policy makers and security officers as for citizens facing terrorist threats.
This Brief provides a theoretical and conceptual development of a new Risk Assessment Toolbox (RAT) for the early detection of violent extremists. It is based on a neurocognitive perspective, conceptualized as ‘neuroplasticity-in-action’ arising from brain-based neural patterns expressed in mind-based cognitive pathways likely to form a mind-set of violent extremism. This neurocognitive-based Risk Assessment Toolbox (RAT) is comprised of two distinct components: a cognitive indicators instrument that serves as an early detection checklist for trained practitioners, and a software visualisation program. The Brief includes: A framework of contemporary approaches to the risk assessment of violence as well as the background context for the current research project on ‘violent extremism’ and its related concepts of ‘terrorism’ and ‘radicalisation,’ out of which the RAT was developed. A detailed overview of RAT and a pilot case study experiment to highlight the practical value and utility of this neurocognitive Risk Assessment Toolbox. Preliminary research findings of a study conducted with a sample of recognized experts (academics and practitioners) in several countries around the world, to fine tune and validate the risk parameters of the two components that constitute RAT (Risk Assessment Toolbox). The current stage of development of RAT as a practitioner-based system for the early detection of potentially violent extremists as well as its strategic intelligence implications for using a neurocognitive risk assessment approach to violent extremism is discussed. Research limitations and plans for future research studies. This work will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice interested in studying violent extremism, terrorism and crime prevention and intervention and policing, as well as researchers in related fields of Forensic Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Social Work or Social Intervention.
