Prevent Strategy is a collection of work from practitioners – youth
workers and the police – and academics researching Prevent. This
book examines overcoming the stigma attached to Prevent being
implicitly racist, problems related to the section 26 duty, training
staff on Prevent, creating safe spaces to have open discussions,
problems regarding extremists’ online activity, and the law
surrounding freedom of expression. Since its introduction, the UK’s
Prevent strategy has been surrounded with controversy ranging from
making the Muslim community a dangerous ‘suspect community’ to
being another layer of police surveillance on individuals who have not
been arrested or convicted of a crime. Despite amendments to the
strategy – which now covers all forms of extremism – and adopting
a multi-agency approach, these suspicions remain, exacerbated by the
section 26 Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 duty on specified
authorities to prevent vulnerable people being drawn towards
terrorism. This book's findings on the Prevent strategy will be an
invaluable tool for staff in education, the health service, and the
criminal justice agencies who carry out the section 26 duty. It will
also appeal to academics and students studying the area of terrorism
and security.
