(BBC) The principles behind the anti-extremism scheme Prevent may not be as controversial among British Muslims as thought, a survey suggests.
Criminal justice think tank Crest Advisory says its research shows the “narrative” the scheme is a “toxic brand” is “fundamentally flawed.”
UK Muslims would be more likely to tip off the scheme when someone was being radicalised than the wider public.
But the Muslim Council of Britain said Prevent still needed to be overhauled.
The research was funded by a charitable trust with an interest in policing and crime reduction which for security reasons does not wish to be identified.
