Communities and Local Government Committee :Preventing Violent Extremism Sixth Report of Session 2009–10

VE Counter-Terrorism

The Government’s Preventing Violent Extremism programme is a complex and sensitive agenda which has met with widely varying perceptions as to what the programme stands for and what it aims to deliver on the ground. Our inquiry has shown that the current overall approach to Prevent is contentious and unlikely ever to be fully accepted in its existing form by those it is most important to engage.
