Examining the needs and motivations of Canada's federally incarcerated radicalized offenders / Yvonne Stys & Steve Michel.: PS83-3/344E-PDF
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) strives to contribute to the safety and security of society through identifying and addressing the criminogenic needs and criminal motivations of the federally incarcerated offender population. While much is known about the needs of the general offender population, there exists significantly less empirical evidence concerning the needs of those federally-sentenced individuals motivated by ideology: radicalized offenders. This paper seeks to examine and understand the specific motivations and needs of federally incarcerated radicalized offenders, with the ultimate goal of contributing to an evidence-based approach to effective correctional interventions for these offenders. Using data from the Offender Management System (OMS) as well as information coded from various sources, motivations (ideological and non-ideological) and needs (criminogenic and other violent extremist) of a sample of radicalized offenders were examined. This study allowed for a greater understanding of radicalized offenders motivations and needs, while providing CSC with further evidence that can be used in its considerations of how to intervene and case manage this population of offenders in the future.
