Countering Violent Extremist Narratives

Summary

The National Coordinator for Counterterrorism in the Netherlands employs a ‘comprehensive approach’ to combating terrorism. This approach holds that combating terrorism can only be effective when repressive measures are complemented by preventive policy. In order to prevent terrorism, the government is tackling radicalisation and recruitment, which increase the risk of terrorist attacks. Both local and central government are taking measures to identify, prevent, isolate, curb and intervene in processes of radicalisation and recruitment before it is too late.
