Abstract

Children's education plays a crucial role in preventing radicalization. By fostering analytical thinking and encouraging an evidence-based approach, education can help children develop the ability to discern and challenge extremist narratives. This study aims to investigate the terrorist offenders’ children's education in Indonesia through qualitative and quantitative research designs. By interviewing terrorist prisoners, holding discussions with former prisoners, and reviewing legal documents of terrorism cases such as profiling and assessment reports, this study tries to identify the regeneration of terrorist networks in Indonesia. The study examines the schools terrorist offenders (as decision makers) select for their children. The findings of this study show that only 18% of prisoners’ children are sent to schools not associated at all with terrorist organizations. In comparison, prisoners hide 29%, 14% are sent to schools less affiliated with terrorist organizations, and 13% are in schools very affiliated with terrorist organizations. This indicates distressing information that the indoctrination of youngsters persists within terrorist networks in Indonesia. Moreover, there are correlations between several independent (e.g., offenders' sentences, risk levels, and affiliations) and dependent variables (e.g., children's trauma, categories of school, orientations, and school networking). The study may help predict the continuation and recurrence of terrorism.

Abstract

Counterterrorism professionals in Indonesia face significant pressures due to the demanding nature of their work. This study was aimed at investigating stressors among Indonesian counterterrorism personnel. A mixed-methods research design was employed in the study. The results demonstrate that counterterrorism professionals, including national intelligence operatives, encounter stress chiefly from role expectations, workload, and insufficient social support. Different demographic groups view certain stressors as the most challenging. Furthermore, statistical evidence indicates that employment in security and national defence, or broader intelligence sectors significantly affects personnel's occupational stress levels. The study may help in developing resilience capacity-building strategies.
