‘Prevent’ responses to jihadi extremism

Terrorism Extremism

Changes in the nature of jihadi terrorism, its likely proponents, and its potential temporal and geographical extent have tipped counter-terrorism more towards holistic and preventative stances than hitherto. Examples can be found at an international level in the United Nations Global Counter Terrorism Strategy, at a regional level in the European Union Counter Terrorism Strategy of 2005, at a national level in the United States National Strategy for Combating Terrorism and also in the UK’s Countering International Terrorism (CONTEST) strategy.
