In 2011 the U.K. Government reviewed its counter terrorism Prevent
Strategy to include "all forms of extremism" with an emphasis on
right-wing extremism. This book - written by the former Head of
Strategy and Policy at the Office of the National Coordinator for
Prevent - provides the most detailed assessment yet of this shift
in emphasis. It explores how the inclusion of right-wing extremism
within the counter terrorism Prevent Strategy impacted local
responses to the English Defence League. This is explored through
numerous interviews and several case studies which were carried out
by the author while he was serving as a senior police officer
within the Counter Terrorism Command of the Metropolitan Police
Service. The book balances empirical research with practical
recommendations for policymakers and practitioners from a unique
"insider" perspective. This book will be of appeal to an array of
audiences including scholars and students of Terrorism Studies,
professionals working in the areas of counter terrorism, public
order policing and the promotion of community cohesion, and to
those who have an interest in wider non-political responses to
right-wing extremism.
