The purpose of this book was initially to compare two groups of women: the first group consisting of female Indonesian terrorists in prison, the second group composed of women who had been convicted of infanticide and / or paedophilia in France, in order to apply the CHaD Test to better understand the motivations of these women and, eventually, to uncover potential methods of prevention or deradicalization. Yet, at times, projects like these clash with the contingencies of reality. We did not have sample of relevant terrorist women in prison. In fact, at the beginning of 2018 in Indonesia, the police listed only five women terrorists in prison, each in a prison light years away from the others. So, with only five women in our potential sample size each in prisons that were far from one another, in a country with four times the land surface of France, there were significant practical roadblocks for the psychologists on the CHaD team and we had to rethink the project. Sheer chance (and the tenacity of the psychologists of the CHaD team) was nonetheless our friend, and it brought us to the project that is the subject of this book, transforming its first part into a sort of documentary about two cases of female terrorists in prison.
