Legal-Education Plus Trauma-informed Therapy to Improve Community Acceptance and Reintegration of Repentant Terrorists in Nigeria: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial
Terrorism is an issue of global concern, and reintegrating repentant terrorists, including their families, has often proved challenging considering the damages done by the terrorist group.
Despite Boko Haram atrocities in Nigeria, the focus seems directed toward the repentant terrorists with limited attention to the communities, the trauma they suffered, and their involvement in the design of reintegration programmes.
There is also limited community awareness of legal support channels to foster positive reintegration (Ike et al., 2021).
The implication is that it risks undermining the social context that informs successful reintegration, improves acceptance, and reduces reoffending.
However, there appears to be limited research on this important policy problem in Nigeria.
Our study proposes to fill this gap by contributing to the research initiative through a novel cross-disciplinary intervention drawing on law and psychology entitled Legal Education plus Trauma-informed Therapy (LETiT) to improve community acceptance and reintegration of repentant terrorists in Nigeria.

Experimental: LETiT
The LETiT intervention will cover (a) Legal education with numerous aspects relating to human rights, access to legal support and tackling traumatic experiences. (b) The Trauma-informed Therapy component will involve addressing trauma, dispelling negative thoughts and building more positive thinking. It is worth adding that the LETiT intervention has undergone standardisation of procedure by adopting a coherent manual (e.g., the Legal Education plus Trauma-informed Therapy manual) specifically designed for the proposed intervention. For example, the legal education contents are collated from extant laws, including the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. |
Group-1: Experimental (n=75 participants) will receive the LETiT which consists of a total of 12-group integrated sessions lasting approximately 60-90 minutes per session every week with 20-25 persons per sub-group.

Comparador activo: Intervention As Usual (IAU)
The Intervention As Usual (IAU) component of the proposed project is designed through a systematic collation of numerous government and non-governmental organisations' support information (e.g., news information and basic re-orientation of community members affected by terrorism). Thus, the IAU group will receive the government intervention involving media messages from the National Orientation Agency devoid of legal education or trauma-informed therapy. The training materials are organised to address key aspects of care such as (a) acknowledgement of the severity of lived experiences (b) reflection of current help received from the government and humanitarian services (c) essential aspects of self-care and caring for the vulnerable family and community members (d) inspiration for the future etc. |
Group-2: Controlled (n=75 participants) will receive the IAU which consists of a total of 12-group integrated sessions lasting approximately 60-90 minutes per session every week with 20-25 persons per sub-group.
