Dynamic Network Analysis for Counter-Terrorism

Mathematical modeling of dynamics behavior of terrorism and control

Terrorism is generally understood to be the use of threat or extra normal violence to gain ideological reasons and personal benefit. In this paper, a mathematical modelling of terrorism with military strategies and rehabilitation of terrorists was constructed. The model is developed to control the spread of terrorist ideologies in the society and suitable to describe terrorist group. The popula...

A Survey on Social Network Analysis for Counter-Terrorism

Terrorist Activities worldwide has approached the evolution of various high-ended methodologies for analyzing terrorist groups and networks. Existing research found that Social Network Analysis (SNA) is one of the most effective and predictive method for countering terrorism in social networks. The study reviewed various SNA measures for predicting the key players/ main actors of terrorist netw...

Understanding Terrorist Organizations with a Dynamic Model

Terrorist organizations change over time because of processes such as recruitment and training as well as counter-terrorism (CT) measures, but the effects of these processes are typically studied qualitatively and in separation from each other. Seeking a more quantitative and integrated understanding, we constructed a simple dynamic model where equations describe how these processes change an o...

Designing Rehabilitation and Reintegration Programmes for Violent Extremist Offenders: A Realist Approach

In this Research Paper, ICCT – The Hague Research Fellow Tinka Veldhuis makes an argument for a Realist approach to rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for inmates with a terrorist or extremist background. Accordingly, within the Realist framework, it is stressed that the outcomes of rehabilitation programmes should be understood as a product of the policy mechanisms an...
