Evidence

Prevent has had two distinct phases. Initially it was concerned with preventing violent extremism, with the principal threat seen to come from ‘Islamist terrorists’. Prevent put the onus on Muslim communities, providing funding to support local programmes for young Muslims. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 387
