Disguised compliance refers to individuals participating in programmes to counter violent extremism (CVE), deceiving, and manipulating intervention staff about the degree to which they are deradicalised and disengaged. It is a particular challenge that confronts CVE case managed programmes. Recent cases of individuals committing terrorist acts who have participated in CVE interventions have demonstrated the risks that disguised compliance presents. However disguised compliance is a common challenge confronting behavioural change programmes. This paper reports results from interviews with practitioners directly involved in the delivery of CVE interventions about their understandings of disguised compliance, its occurrence, identification, and management. The results indicate that the occurrence of disguised compliance is highly contextual and shaped by individual motivations and capacities, with it comprising a spectrum of behaviours. Interviewees emphasised that the detection of disguised compliance requires a mix of strategies and approaches, and that these should not undermine rapport and trust building with a client. The implications of the results for policy and practice are considered including the type of indicators that constitute authentic indicators of behavioural and cognitive change
