Gendered Perspectives on Preventing Violent Extremism

Discover the insightful exploration of gender and counterterrorism in Gendered Perspectives on Preventing Violent Extremism by Sam Andrews, published by Bristol University Press in 2022. This compelling hardback edition spans 240 pages and delves into the UK's 'Prevent' strategy, which aims to combat radicalisation while often involving women in their roles as mothers and guardians of family safety. Andrews uncovers how the Prevent strategy extends beyond mere counterterrorism efforts by funding various projects, including support initiatives for domestic violence victims and parenting courses. This book offers a critical analysis of how these engagements shape women's roles and influence societal dynamics. Ideal for readers interested in gender studies, security, and social policy, this work invites you to rethink the intersections of gender and violent extremism.
