Description
Homegrown Violent Extremism: A New Challenge in Counterterrorism The threat environment is changing, and homegrown violent extremism (HVE) represents a growing concern for security and public policy. Erroll Southers, a seasoned expert in security efforts, examines the conditions that enable HVE and explores community-based approaches to reduce the risk of homegrown terrorism. Southers challenges the traditional focus on foreign individuals and communities, arguing that there is no single profile of a terrorist. Instead, he highlights how violent extremists exploit vulnerabilities in their communities, offering practical insights for communities, security practitioners, and policymakers. This book provides essential information on how to put security theory into practice and address the complex issue of HVE. By understanding the complexities of HVE, readers can gain valuable insights into the threat and develop effective strategies to mitigate it.
