Extremism and efforts to prevent and counter it have become a focal point of scholarship and policy and practice in recent years. Our research in this area spans a range of topic areas and has been funded by a range of organisations.
Some of the core areas of scholarship include research on: – what constrains or protects against involvement in terrorism; – how to evaluate and assess the impact of interventions designed to counter or prevent terrorism; – the relationships between protest and terrorism and political violence.
