This book examines de-radicalisation policy in the UK and addresses
the contradictions evident in the conceptualisation and practice of
de-radicalisation. It explores three main themes that touch upon
some of the most pressing issues of our day: security, identity and
religion. Situated within the Prevent strand of the UK
Counter-Terrorism policy and administered by the police through the
'Channel Programme', policymakers have promoted de-radicalisation
as a vital instrument in the fight against terrorism. Despite the
political and legal importance of de-radicalisation as an
instrument of counter-terrorism, we continue to know very little
about the programme and the profile of individuals who have been
de-radicalised, as well as having little or no access to data on
the programme. There is also a glaring lacuna in the wider
literature regarding the concept, theory, and evidence base for
de-radicalisation policies. This book addresses this lacuna and,
with the use of data collected from interviews conducted with 27
practitioners, this work reveals the existence of multiple
conceptions of de-radicalisation and a number of conceptual
features unique to the UK context. Subsequently, the book proposes
that de-radicalisation in the UK would be best conceptualised as
'technologies of the self'. Seen in this way, de-radicalisation is
less about tackling terrorism and radicalisation and more about the
re-configuring of citizenship, the construction of a mainstream
British identity, and the promotion of certain subjectivities in an
era of uncertainty about British political identity. This book will
be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies,
de-radicalisation, counter-terrorism, UK politics and security
studies in general.
