Abstract
Over the last few years there have been a wide range of interventions aimed at reducing
support for violent extremism. This report focuses on those interventions which seek to
prevent violent extremism, or reduce support for it, at the community level. For the
purposes of analysis, ‘community level’ is used simply to distinguish such interventions
from national level interventions or campaigns, or those which are focused on particular
individuals – for example, personalised de-radicalisation programmes – are therefore not
included in this research. This focus reflects the policy area of Communities and Local
Government which commissioned this research.
