The policy is part of the national action plan that looks to counter the violent extremism. Research, prevention, intervention, rehab and re-integration of youth are among the things covered in it. Rehab, which is an alternative to prosecution of those youth who are close to being in the space of crime, helps them pursue their future.
To aid its prevention to violent extremism programme and getting its youth rehabilitated and re-integrated into society instead of being prosecuted, the US government is trying to get public prosecutors on board so that they are on same page on their national action plan to tackle against the violent extremism issue.

Talking about the same, Irfan Saeed, director with the US State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) said that the government is working to get public prosecutors on board so that they understand the action plan better. Public prosecutors otherwise look to get the guilty maximum punishment.
"Youth have a future and we would help them to get rehabilitated. We are getting prosecutors on board. Within departments we are ensuring that people get better understanding of how prevention and intervention work looks like... the idea is to get people on the same page of national action plan," said Saeed who was himself a federal prosecutor.
He added that the society is being encouraged to speak up if they see something suspicious activities happening it the society. "We are encouraging parents and people to speak up if they see something suspicious. Many times they see but catch the word in their throat instead of speaking. In case of one of the Boston Marathon attacks, very openly they were saying something suspicious. They were thrown out of the mosque but that is not enough to alert… We are also asking parents to reach people and speak up when they see suspicious activities," he said. Saeed said that his government was not giving any assurances to youth before they face the law.
