White Supremacy Is A Worldwide Crisis ― And The U.S. Can Learn From Abroad
LOADING ERROR LOADING From Pittsburgh to Poway to El Paso, U.S. law enforcement is struggling to deal with far-right domestic terrorism. Earlier this year, Daniel Koehler of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-radicalization Studies wrote that a “vast” number of local programs try to intervene with people vulnerable to right-wing extremism before they’re radicalized, citing a 2016 study that showed 267 projects are focused on the far-right. In 2006, the year after the worst attack by violent Islamists in British history, London ramped up programs grouped under the title “Prevent” that largely focused on the risk of radicalization among the country’s Muslims. Following Canada’s lead and adding violent far-right extremists to the U.S. State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations would give law enforcement new ways to investigate or prosecute American extremists who affiliate with or support white supremacists internationally. This perhaps calls for an almost technocratic approach to mitigating far-right violence that steers clear of explicit politics ― and doesn’t trample civil liberties by arresting people for espousing certain “dangerous” views.
