This book provides a groundbreaking account of Prevent, Britain's counter-radicalization strategy, positioning it as a unique form of power that has played a central role in shaping and policing contemporary British identity. Through extensive interviews with key individuals involved in its development, the book offers readers a comprehensive historical and conceptual understanding of the policy. It reveals that Prevent is an ambitious new approach to violence, leading to the establishment of a radical new role for the state: addressing vulnerability to radicalization.

The book delves into the origins and evolution of Prevent, examining the concepts and practices that have been developed within it. It critically engages with the assumptions upon which Prevent is built and the power dynamics it mobilizes. By exploring the historical context, theoretical frameworks, and practical implementations of Prevent, the book sheds light on its implications for individual rights, social cohesion, and the broader fight against terrorism.

This book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in understanding the complexities of counter-radicalization efforts and the role of power in shaping societal identities. It offers insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with Prevent and provides a basis for informed discussions and policy interventions.
