In the UK and elsewhere, while this was prompted by and focused on Islamist extremism, the preventive approach is now also applied to right-wing extremism and can be extended to other forms of violent extremism such as incel\/misogynist extremism, and left-wing extremism as well as to cases where ideology is \u2018mixed, unstable or unclear\u2019.<\/p>\n

The response to extremism commonly includes policies promoting pro-social attitudes and \u2018community cohesion\u2019 \u2013 especially where they connect to community conflict more widely (Thomas 2010) \u2013 and focusing on education as it relates to both ideology and economic and social inclusion. It also includes \u2018community engagement\u2019 and \u2018youth engagement\u2019 programmes that do \u2018hearts and minds\u2019 work on orientation towards the state but also carry out surveillance and lower-level coercive interventions. Importantly, the fear of extremisms and a broader downward spiral of communal relations has prompted governments to allow the prevention of violent extremism to overdetermine relationships with some parts of society, and Muslims in particular.<\/p>\n

While the vast majority of people are not favourable to hateful or violent extremism, we should not expect consensus with regards to where the cut-offs should be placed for these categories, or consensus on the appropriateness of any response. A universal educational offer that educates for democracy or against extremism (Davies 2009) will have broad support, as do criminal justice responses to terrorist activity (e.g. prison sentences for convicted terrorists). Between these two, however, we find a variety of community-level and person-specific interventions, of which some may be broadly punitive but most are \u2018administrative or social based measures\u2019 Eijkman and Roodnat 2016). Such measures – which are not formally mandated by a court, do not always require consent and are rarely open to challenge – can produce the \u2018grievance, structural inequalities and alienation from power structures\u2019 (Pilkington 2018) that can drive extremism.<\/p>\n

This range of interventions raise questions, not only about their appropriateness and the accountability of the agencies involved, but about the ways in which the lives of (mostly younger) people are encroached on and reshaped both by extremism and by counter-extremist interventions. Is the \u201ccommunity\u201d envisaged as a space of unbounded (and potentially risky) dialogue, or one where any radical possibilities are (or should be) foreclosed by diffuse social control? As such, this is a community justice issue.<\/p>\n

We therefore call for papers that address the following, or related themes in relation to preventing hateful and violent extremism:<\/p>\n
