Prevent’s second phase extended its reach to broadly defined extremism and legal duty

Evidence

Phase 2, from 2011, extended the focus of Prevent from ‘violent extremism’ to broadly defined ‘extremism’, challenging ideas which the government saw as contributing to radicalization. Prevent now relies on frontline public sector institutions, having become a legal duty of these institutions under the Counter- Terrorism and Security Act 2015 (CTSA 2015). — Runnymede Trust (ed.
