Deadline for long overdue Prevent review missed in weeks before Sir David Amess’ murder
The Independent says a deadline set by the government for an independent report on the Prevent counter-extremism programme was missed weeks before the murder of Conservative MP Sir David Amess.
The review’s findings will not be published until almost three years after the probe was announced, despite questions over the scheme’s effectiveness.
The murder of Sir David, which has been declared a terrorist incident, has sparked fresh concerns about the programme and its ability to stop people being drawn towards violence.
