Subject(s): Online resources: In: Perspectives on Terrorism Perspectives on Terrorism . -- Vol. 10 No. 2 (April. 2016)Summary: Given the infancy of countering violent extremism (CVE) initiatives, within the CVE literature there has been a push towards understanding the effectiveness of these initiatives. CVE scholars and practitioners have attempted to construct metrics and frameworks that can be used in the field for evaluation purposes. This Research Note highlights the changes to the United Kingdom’s Prevent Strategy under the 2011 Prevent Strategy and the recent passage of the Counterterrorism and Security Act of 2015 that were made partly to promote the monitoring and evaluation of Prevent. Although the search for metrics and frameworks to use for evaluation has been ongoing, this Research Note emphasizes the potential drawbacks that can arise from the push towards the standardization of CVE programs. Using insights from interviews, this Research Note outlines these changes, explores the possible reasons behind the changes, and analyzes the potential implications for the communities where Prevent is implemented. This research is part of a broader dissertation project that examines the implementation of CVE programs and public perception surrounding these programs within the United Kingdom and United States.

Given the infancy of countering violent extremism (CVE) initiatives, within the CVE literature there has been a
push towards understanding the effectiveness of these initiatives. CVE scholars and practitioners have attempted
to construct metrics and frameworks that can be used in the field for evaluation purposes. This Research Note
highlights the changes to the United Kingdom’s Prevent Strategy under the 2011 Prevent Strategy and the recent
passage of the Counterterrorism and Security Act of 2015 that were made partly to promote the monitoring and
evaluation of Prevent. Although the search for metrics and frameworks to use for evaluation has been ongoing,
this Research Note emphasizes the potential drawbacks that can arise from the push towards the standardization
of CVE programs. Using insights from interviews, this Research Note outlines these changes, explores the possible
reasons behind the changes, and analyzes the potential implications for the communities where Prevent is
implemented. This research is part of a broader dissertation project that examines the implementation of CVE
programs and public perception surrounding these programs within the United Kingdom and United States.
