Book Description
This book presents the voices of police and community members who have been involved in engagement and partnership projects designed for countering violent extremism. Though the threat of the so-called Islamic State garners a great deal of current attention, the book explores ideological violence prevention efforts in a number of contexts, to include that of paramilitary organizations as well as Qa’ida inspired actors.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This work is an extremely useful text that deals with the myriad complexities of the problem of ideological violence on a number of levels. It is pragmatic, focused and a valuable contribution to dealing with an issue that is of lasting and troubling importance.” – Robert Finn, Visiting Scholar, Columbia University, and Former United States Ambassador to Afghanistan
“This work is an extremely useful text that deals with the myriad complexities of the problem of ideological violence on a number of levels. Academic approaches and analyses are more than balanced by first-hand accounts from field officers. The parallels and differences in dealing with ethnic issues in Northern Ireland and Muslim communities in both the UK and the United States are treated in separate chapters and in different ways. The book delineates the complexity and difficulty of these kinds of issues in a thoughtful and provocative manner. It is pragmatic, focused and a valuable contribution to dealing with an issue that is of lasting and troubling importance.” – Robert Finn, Visiting Scholar, Columbia University, and Former United States Ambassador to Afghanistan
