Review of UK Prevent strategy to call for more focus on Islamist terrorism

Report on counter-extremism programme to say attention must shift to Islamist radicalisation instead of rightwing terrorism

A long-awaited report on the government’s counter-extremism programme is expected to call for its focus to shift more towards Islamist terrorism instead of rightwing terrorism.

Wednesday’s publication of William Shawcross’s review into Prevent follows months of delays caused by ministerial tussles over redactions and the language in the report, sources said.
