ABSTRACT

Previous research has shown that contexts as well as places and situational dynamics, including societal structures, play a crucial role in successfully fighting terrorist networks. By taking contextual and situational parameters seriously, the H2020-Project TAKEDOWN developed a new approach as part of the research, which resulted in a dynamic cube for analysing and assessing cases or organized crime, violent extremism and terrorism. This chapter provides an elaboration of the concept and the logic of the cube, which serves as the entry point for developing a practical tool devised by the TAKEDOWN Project.
