Referrals to anti-terror Prevent scheme double after attacks

The number of potential extremists flagged up by the public to the Government's counter-terrorism scheme has doubled since the recent attacks in the UK.The figures were released by Simon Cole, the National Police Chief Council's lead spokesman on de-radicalisation efforts."Even though these referrals from the public are increasing, we still need more people to have the confidence to tell our safeguarding experts if they are worried about someone's behaviour," Mr Cole said.
