| Summary/Abstract |
The prevent strand of the UK government's counter-terrorist strategy, CONTEST, is politically sensitive and important. Yahya Virt concentrates on the domestic funding and policing aspects of prevent, as well the political debate around what constitutes effective and desirable engagement. He argues that prevent has become too unfocused, and is in danger of compromising both policing and local service provision by sowing greater mistrust between communities.
