{"product_id":"9781800081994","title":"Violent Extremism by","description":"\u003cp\u003eViolent extremism has galvanized public fear and attention. Driven by their concerns, the public has pushed for law enforcement and mental health systems to prevent attacks rather than just respond to them after they occur. The prevention process requires guidance for practitioners and policymakers on how best to identify people who may be at risk, to understand and assess the nature and function of the harm they may cause, and to manage them to mitigate or prevent harm. \u003cem\u003eViolent Extremism\u003c\/em\u003e provides such guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver 10 chapters, prepared by leading experts, this handbook illuminates the nature of violent extremism and the evolution of prevention-driven practice. Authors draw on the literature and their experience to explain which factors might increase (risk factors) or decrease (protective factors) risk, how those factors might operate, and how practitioners can prepare risk formulations and scenario plans that inform risk management strategies to prevent violent extremist harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is crafted to support thoughtful, evidence-based practice that is transparent, accountable and ultimately defensible. Written for an international audience, the volume will be of interest to law enforcement and mental health professionals, criminal justice and security personnel, as well as criminologists, policymakers and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eViolent Extremism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ?In \u003cem\u003eViolent Extremism\u003c\/em\u003e, Logan, Borum and Gill have assembled the most celebrated scholars and practitioners in anticipating and mitigating violence.
