A great result, un excellent résultat, ein tolles Ergebnis, een geweldig resultaat. Through hard work and thanks to a good cooperation with international colleagues, we have good practical VERA-2R manuals in four languages: English, French, German and Dutch.

All professionals, trained in the VERA-2R in Europe and other continents, can now use manuals in their own language to improve their violent extremist risk assessment.

The usability of the VERA-2R is improved with lead and extra questions for qualitative information.

11 additional indicators have been added on non-violent criminal history, personal history and mental disorders, that all relate to violent extremism.

The criteria of the five existing domains have been improved:

  1. Beliefs, attitudes, and ideology
  2. Social context and intention
  3. History, action and capacity
  4. Commitment and motivation
  5. Protective and risk-mitigating indicators.

The VERA-2R is used worldwide and is implemented in Europe, as a structured professional judgment approach. It is applicable for the assessment of risk of violent extremism and terrorism and for risk trajectories of men, women and youth.

The VERA-2R can be used to assess, monitor and manage risk changes of violent extremism over time.
