Vigilance underpinned by a working knowledge of violent extremism is the best defence against terrorist-related injuries and fatalities.

In this course, you will learn how and why some people come to adopt extremist views, how to identify extremism in others and how some individuals cross the line from fervent beliefs to violence.
