Description
Preventing Terrorism and Violent Extremism provides an accessible guide to neighbourhood policing and counter-terrorism measures available to police officers. This book offers tools and operational know-how to tackle the range of threats to national security and community cohesion.
It places counter-terrorism policing within everyday operations, allowing you to assess how provisions under CONTEST 3 and Prevent can be incorporated into day-to-day neighbourhood policing tasks and patrols. The book includes case studies, clear explanations of national policy, and detailed coverage of anti-terror powers and procedures.
Definitions of key concepts and classifications of terrorism provide background and context to the current status of UK national security, while detailed translations of the law and official guidance surrounding counter-terrorism supply both practical and theoretical underpinning for clear interpretation and application of such powers.
