LONDON — Britain’s Conservative-led government outlined a revised strategy Tuesday to tackle homegrown terrorism, saying that tens of millions of pounds spent on anti-extremism projects have failed to steer young Muslims away from violence.
Home Secretary Theresa May pledged the government will spend more time on actively identifying extremist threats — naming prisons, universities and the health care system as possible areas of focus — to target individuals and areas most at risk of radicalization.
Britain’s anti-extremism policy, dubbed Prevent, aimed to provide alternatives to militant Islamism by supporting mainstream groups through lecture tours by moderate clerics and by funding for outreach work.
