Violent Extremism Risk Assessment Conference

The science and practice of violent extremism (VE) risk assessment is an emerging field of expertise compared to the practice of risk assessment for other types of crimes. This presents a range of challenges for the development, validity and utilisation of VE risk assessment tools. This conference will bring together Australasian and international academics and practitioners to explore VE risk assessment knowledge and practice. The conference seeks to encourage the sharing of expertise, knowledge, skills and capability; identify and address gaps in capability and research, and facilitate the development of collaborative partnerships between academics, policymakers and practitioners.

The conference was convened by the AVERT Research Network in June 2021 and was supported by funding from the Department of Home Affairs.
