Handbook of Preventing Violent Extremism

The German Federal Police Agency (BKA) published the handbook of Preventing Violent Extremism in 2020. This Handbook aims at contributing to the enhancement of extremism prevention on the basis of a macro-social and cooperative approach. It reflects our certainty that the prevention of violent extremism must always be aligned with the very latest knowledge and designed to involve society as a whole. In it, numerous experts from academia, civil society and the security authorities illuminate various facets of violent extremism and terrorism as complex and challenging social phenomena and describe diverse approaches for prevention

The complete English version of the 2020 Handbook for the Prevention of Extremism is now available here. The various contributions written by our expert researchers and practitioners have not only been translated into English but also updated to account for recent developments. As with the previous edition, the Handbook consists of seven systematically organised central chapters together with a variety of excursuses that illuminate various aspects of extremism prevention.
