What do you need to know
What is radicalization
Radicalization means someone becomes increasingly isolated and develops extreme ideas. Do you see changes in behavior or statements that worry you? Please report them. The sooner we know, the better we can help.

What do you have to do
When to report
You can give your name so we can discuss the matter if necessary. This allows us to act more effectively and carefully. Would you prefer to report anonymously? That's also possible, but it can sometimes make follow-up more difficult. We treat all reports confidentially.
You can report if you are concerned about, for example:
- Someone who starts behaving differently or saying hostile things
- Someone who spreads extreme ideas online or offline
- Someone who tolerates less and less people who are different
Other reporting points
- Report Crime Anonymously is for the anonymous reporting of criminal offences
- National Support Center for Extremism offers help to family or friends of people who are radicalizing, but does not accept reports
After your report
- You will receive a confirmation of receipt
- If we need more information, we will contact you
- We discuss the report with partners such as the police, healthcare or school
- Together we determine whether action is necessary
- If possible, you will hear what has been done with it
