Webinar clips: Addressing extremism

Tuesday, 14 December 2021

In our most recent edition of 'Last month in criminal justice', our speakers discussed extremism.

In the aftermath of the Liverpool Women's Hospital bombing, our panel discussed the relationship between threadbare mental health care and extremism, and the failings of the Government's Prevent Strategy.

Richard introduced the topic with a quote by Pragna Patel in Feminist Dissent on Prevent discourse. 

Ian Acheson, an expert in extremism and terrorism, outlined the motivations behind violent extremism and the need for a system that's fit-for-purpose to address it.
