Who are these radicalized that are being monitored and tracked?

In practice they often are not at all ready to do so – “I don’t understand sh*t of taxes.” A portrait of Dorine, an eighteen-year-old who until recently lived in a youth facility. Without a degree and an inner circle consisting of one friend, it is uncertain what her next home will be. “I don’t dream about the future, it’s just nightmares about my past.”
