Synopsis British Counter-Terrorism Policy by : Maria W. Norris
This book argues that British counterterrorism strategy is not only counterproductive, but it also presents an internal risk to national security. The book is divided into two parts. The first explores the analytical and theoretical tools used to analyse British counterterrorism strategy. As the book understands terrorism to be a normative label, a discourse-oriented approach is used. The boundary-security nexus not only exposes how constructions of security and identity exist in a dialectic relationship, but also provides a three-dimensional tool of symbolic, social, and institutional levels through which to explore constructions of terrorism. Part two applies the boundary-security nexus to two case studies: Islamic and far-right terrorism. The analysis and comparison of these case studies through the boundary-security nexus shows how for over a decade successive British governments have framed terrorism as a foreign problem; a problem with roots and causes firmly planted abroad. This results in a highly selective and racial understanding of terrorism, which has significant national security implications. Ultimately, the book shows how constructions of national identity and national security are intertwined at every level of the construction of terrorism. Islamic terrorism is framed as a foreign problem while far-right extremism is normalised and never given the condition of the Other. Only the threat framed as emanating from the Other is seen as a legitimate target of counterterrorism policy. It is this very intertwining of national identity and national security which allows for the selective application of the terrorism label in the UK. As such, the book shows how, through the selective application of the terrorism label, national security can be eroded from within. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, British politics, criminology and IR in general.

Synopsis Anti-terrorism, citizenship and security by : Lee Jarvis
This book explores how different publics make sense of and evaluate anti-terrorism powers within the UK, and the implications of this for citizenship and security. Drawing on primary empirical research, the book argues that whilst white individuals are not unconcerned about the effects of anti-terrorism, ethnic minority citizens (including, but not only those identifying as Muslim) believe that anti-terrorism powers have impacted negatively on their citizenship and security. This book thus offers the first systematic engagement with ‘vernacular’ or ‘everyday’ understandings of anti-terrorism policy, citizenship and security. It argues that while transformations in anti-terrorism frameworks impact on public experiences of security and citizenship, they do not do so in a uniform, homogeneous, or predictable manner. At the same time, public understandings and expectations of security and citizenship themselves shape how developments in anti-terrorism frameworks are discussed and evaluated. This important new book will be of interest to researchers and students working in a wide range of disciplines including Political Science, International Relations, Security Studies and Sociology.

Synopsis Prevent strategy by : Great Britain: Home Office
The Prevent strategy, launched in 2007 seeks to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism both in the UK and overseas. It is the preventative strand of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. Over the past few years Prevent has not been fully effective and it needs to change. This review evaluates work to date and sets out how Prevent will be implemented in the future. Specifically Prevent will aim to: respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it; prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support; and work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalization which need to be addressed

Synopsis Islamophobia by : Zempi, Irene
Muslims living in Western nations are increasingly facing overt hostility and even hate crimes, both in everyday life and in online interactions. This book examines the experience and effects of those hate crimes on the victims, their families, and their communities. Built on the first national study in the United Kingdom to examine the nature, extent, and determinants of hate crime against Muslims in the physical and virtual worlds, it highlights the relationship between online and offline attacks, especially in the globalized world. It prominently features the voices of victims themselves, which lend nuance to the accounts and make the reality of these attacks and their consequences palpable.

Synopsis Public Opinion and Counter-terrorism by : Michael Lister
"This book examines the ways in which the views of the public inhabit the counter-terrorism policy space, with a focus on the UK case. Drawing insights from Critical Terrorism Studies, Critical Security Studies and studies of public opinion, the book develops an argument that the relationship between public opinion is complex, iterative and mutually instantiating. Rather than public opinion and counter-terrorism policy existing in a simple, uni-directional causal relationship, the book argues that whilst counter-terrorism policy actors are informed by public opinion, in important ways they also construct that very opinion. This argument is made through an empirical analysis of UK counter-terrorism policy. Drawing on primary research interviews with key counter-terrorism policy actors, and security professionals, as well as original analysis of parliamentary debates, the book demonstrates that rather than UK counter- terrorism politics being closed and elite-driven, there exists a complex, dialectical relationship between public opinion and both the making and the implementing of counter-terrorism policy. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies, counter-terrorism, security studies, British politics and communication studies"--

Synopsis Extremism, Radicalization and Security by : Julian Richards
This book provides a detailed application of identity theory to contemporary questions of extremism, radicalization and security. The analysis considers how identity forms a central aspect of notions of extremism and security in Western societies, as articulated both by political leaders, the media and the government. It also takes a close and critical look at counter-extremism policy in contemporary Western society. With its detailed and empirical approach to these questions, this book is an accessible and invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and general readers keen to establish a deeper understanding of the key societal security threats of the day.

Synopsis Counter-radicalisation policy and the securing of British identity by : Thomas Martin
This book offers an innovative account of Prevent, Britain’s counter-radicalisation strategy, situating it as a novel form of power that has played a central role in the production and the policing of contemporary British identity. Drawing on interviews with those at the heart of Prevent’s development, the book provides readers with an in-depth history and conceptualisation of the policy. The book demonstrates that Prevent is an ambitious new way of thinking about violence that has led to the creation of a radical new role for the state: tackling vulnerability to radicalisation. Detailing the history of the policy, and the concepts and practices that have been developed within Prevent, this book critically engages with the assumptions on which they are based and the forms of power they mobilise.
