Effective Strategies to Counter Extremism 21/10/2016

Over a decade of debate on the phenomena of radicalisation, extremism and terrorism have led to a wide range of approaches in tackling them. So is the UK government on the right track and are we any closer to countering extremism for good?

Jonathan Russell is the Head of Quilliam’s Policy and Communications Department. Jonathan joined Quilliam in 2012 and now looks after several of Quilliam’s programmes and its relations with policymakers.

This includes campaigning for a cross-party commitment to liberalised CT and CVE; the #NotAnotherBrother counter-narrative campaign; consultancy and advisory for public/private sector partners; management of FATE (Families Against Terrorism and Extremism); and the coordination of Extremely Together (A Kofi Annan Foundation Initiative for Young Leaders to Counter Violent Extremism).

Recently, Jonathan has written papers for Quilliam on the Role of Prevent in Countering Online Extremism; Counter-Extremism: A Decade on from 7/7; and Countering Islamist Extremist Narratives – A Strategic Briefing, and led the award-winning #NotAnotherBrother counterspeech campaign.
