Summary
Countering violent extremism (CVE) is a broad umbrella phrase that covers a wide array of possible approaches to dealing with radicalisation to extremist violence. There is growing recognition amongst academics and policy makers that de-radicalisation and countering violent extremism programmes can be a more effective way of tackling extremism than purely militaristic approaches.
