Brief:
Counter-Terrorism: Community-Based Approaches to Preventing Terror Crime covers community-based approaches to counter-terrorism. The academic authors write of the need for policy makers and practitioners to reflect on the effectiveness of the initiatives that they are engaged with, particularly in relation to how community-targeted or community-focused they are.
