Preventing terrorism through community-based approaches (2018–2022)
Abstract:
This project aims to investigate the prevention of terrorism. It will examine approaches that involve police
community engagement and local responses to violent extremism. This is a significant issue given communities
are a key line of defence against terrorism. This project expects to generate new knowledge about counterterrorism
by examining policies adopted in Australia and abroad. Expected outcomes include identifying models of
best practice for the prevention of terrorism and ascertaining how community partnerships against terrorism can be improved. This will provide significant benefits by assisting police, government agencies, community groups and local service providers to implement and evaluate strategies that prevent terrorism.
