Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalisation: Evidence‐Based Policy and Practice

The edited volume Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Radicalisation: Evidence-Based Policy and Practice places itself firmly at the intersection between criminology, prevention science, and public policy.At the heart of this is the desire to tackle one of the longest standing problems in the field of P/CVE: the gap between the rhetoric of "evidence-based" programmes and interventions that all too often have a vague theoretical basis and are evaluated as ineffective.Through an interdisciplinary network of scholars and practitioners from across Europe, the editors offer both a conceptual redefinition and a series of methodological instruments designed to raise the stakes for design, implementation, and evaluation in the prevention of extremism and radicalisation.
