Preventing Support for Violent Extremism through Community Interventions: A Review of the Evidence Rapid Evidence Assessment – Full Final Report

Professor Lawrence Pratchett, Dr Leila Thorp, Dr Melvin Wingfield, Professor Vivian Lowndes and Ruby Jabbar, February 2020

Summary

Over the last few years there have been a wide range of interventions aimed at reducing support for violent extremism. This report focuses on those interventions which seek to prevent violent extremism, or reduce support for it, at the community level. For the purposes of analysis, ‘community level’ is used simply to distinguish such interventions from national level interventions or campaigns, or those which are focused on particular individuals – for example, personalized de-radicalisation programmes – are therefore not included in this research. This focus reflects the policy area of Communities and Local Government which commissioned this research.
