Ah yes, the 4 categories of extremism: Islam, the right, people who care about animals, and incels. Who came up with these categories?
- eesmith 2y agoThere are 6 categories listed in the article, not 4: > There are several extremism categories ranked by the Home Office as an area of “concern”, including Islamist, extreme Right-wing, animal rights, environmental and Northern Ireland related extremism. > There is also a category for “incel” ... (The 2023 guide at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guid... says of incels, "It is possible that violent adherents to movements and subcultures, such as Involuntary Celibacy (Incels), could meet the threshold of terrorist intent or action, should the threat or use of serious violence be used to influence the government or intimidate the public.") This strongly suggests there are additional categories, but I cannot find that Home Office list. As for who came up with them, the article says the Home Office.
