Educational Environments and Preventing Violent Extremism Policy Agendas: Perspectives and Implications

Abstract

Concentrating on the educational space, this research considers the potential risk and protective factors that individuals may be most influenced by if affected by violently extreme ideologies. Methodologically, generating new data that specifically targeted parents and teachers involved in the educational field, this project sought to discover what the Australian public’s expectations are surrounding the implementation of P/CVE programmes in Australian schools and how these programmes should best engage with schools and their respective communities.
