Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Literature Review
Minerva Nasser-Eddine, Bridget Garnham, Katerina Agostino and Gilbert Caluya, March 2011
Summary
Violent extremism has become an area of interest to government and policy makers throughout the Western industrialized world. In Australia initiatives aimed at countering violent extremism are being led by the current Attorney General, Minister Robert McClelland MP. In May 2010 the government announced that violent extremism will be targeted by a $9.7million package of measures. This was based on the Counter-Terrorism White Paper (Australian Government, 2010) which acknowledged the risk of ‘home grown terrorism’ and highlighted the importance of ‘building a strong and resilient community to resist violent extremism and terrorism’.
