Summary
The UK government's Prevent strategy poses challenges for state engagement with Muslims. A deeper analysis reveals complexities in governance practices, implementation, and Muslim agency, highlighting the contested nature of this counter-terrorism approach.
Area of Science:
- Political Science
- Sociology
- Criminology
Background:
- The UK government's counter-terrorism strategy includes the 'Prevent' strand.
- This strategy significantly impacts state engagement with Muslim communities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the implications of the Prevent strategy on UK state-Muslim engagement.
- To critically evaluate the effectiveness and nature of state approaches to engaging Muslims.
Main Methods:
- The study examines the 'Prevent' strand of counter-terrorism policy.
- It analyzes differences in governance practices, inter-level variations, and Muslim agency.
- Focuses on situated practices of governance.
Main Results:
- The logics underpinning Prevent have created significant problems for state-Muslim engagement.
- Characterizing state engagement as mere discipline is insufficient.
- Governance practices, implementation variations, and Muslim agency are crucial factors.
Conclusions:
- Governing through Prevent is a contested process.
- Understanding the nuances of governance and Muslim agency is essential for effective policy.
- The Prevent strategy's impact is complex and multifaceted.

Gene expression can be regulated at almost every step from gene to protein. Transcription is the step that is most commonly regulated. This involves the binding of proteins to short regulatory sequences on the DNA. This association can either promote or inhibit the transcription of a gene associated with the respective sequence.
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...
