Preventing and Countering Extremism and Terrorist Recruitment: A Best Practice Guide by Hanif Qadir

In this essential book for all those who work with young people in whatever context, Hanif outlines the challenges and realities of the current threats, and the various early indicators of extremism and radicalisation. Drawing on his experience of working with hundreds of high risk terrorist and violent extremist cases, Hanif then demonstrates when and how intervention should take place - and, crucially, suggests what success and failure will look like in these cases.

Anonymous case studies from a wide variety of young people demonstrate the numerous push-and-pull factors in play and detail the practical methods and solutions involved with changing permanently attitudes and behaviours. Hanif concludes by detailing the correct Islamic perspective on extremism and terrorism, dispelling many of the myths that have built up through fear and a lack of understanding.

Hanif Qadir is recognised as one of the world's leading specialist in positively transforming violent extremists. He is actively involved in advising and assisting senior policy makers around the globe in reforming key aspects of the Preventing Violent Extremism agenda.
