Funding

The long-term cooperation and ongoing process of data collection enables follow-up research into judicial interventions and post-conviction offender trajectories related to disengagement or recidivism. Therefore, continuation is crucial.

The Dutch anti-terrorism coordinator and the Dutch Ministry of Justice finance the central and Dutch part of the Database in 2023.

Continuation of the European Database as a monitor is needed for at least five to ten years to improve the scientific base of the VERA-2R and to monitor judicial interventions for terrorists during and after detention.
