Radicalisation and Universities: A Critical Analysis of the Effectiveness and Consequences of Prevent Duty

(Title)

Abstract

The UK is currently facing a severe threat from home-grown terrorism, and one of the vital elements required for the survival of terrorism and terrorist groups is radicalisation. In response to the changing and increasing terrorist threat, in 2006 the UK Government introduced its counter-terrorism strategy - CONTEST; this strategy possesses four constituent strands, including Prevent, which has the specific role of countering radicalisation. In light of evidence indicating that universities may be 'hotbeds'of radicalisation, in 2015 the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act included universities under the remit of S26(1); a legal duty imposed on public sector institutions, to "have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism" (Counter-Terrorism and Security Act, 2015:18). The debate around the introduction of the Prevent duty in universities will be critically analysed here, focussing on the likely effectiveness of the duty alongside the consequences that S26(1) may hold for the university. It will be concluded that due to uncertainty surrounding the university-radicalisation association and resultant doubts over the likely effectiveness of S26(1), accompanied by the negative consequences produced by the duty and the potential for its consequences in universities to be counterproductive, universities should be made exempt from S26(1). It is advocated that rather than involving universities in counter-terrorism, the academic value of freedom of speech presents the best method by which universities can tackle and prevent radicalisation.
