The program on de-radicalization of Danish jihadists is a joint effort by the local police and the Aarhus municipality.
"The police will of course investigate and prosecute if they believe someone has operated against Danish legislation while they were in Syria. But in Denmark the police does not only investigate and prosecute, we also work preventive and that's what we do in this program," Mols said.
According to the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, roughly 100 Danes have participated in the Syrian war and nearly 50 have returned to Denmark.
As part of a bid to face the challenge, Denmark has launched rehabilitation programs for potential fighters to motivate them to get an education or employment to prevent them from going to Syria or other countries in the Middle East.
