While earlier instances of political violence by non-state actors were geographically constrained, and generally directed towards unambiguous political objectives, the new networks of terrorist violence function across a global dimensions whose goals are more dispersed. An example of this is to be found in the London attacks on 7 July 2005. Public and political discourse throughout the west often describes the 'new' problems of global political violence partly in terms ' radicalisation' process (es) among Muslim groups in different parts of the world. This article addresses the UK government response to the  radicalisation phenomenon and shows how existing policies and measures have failed to gauge the complexity of the  radicalisation process, and risk creating further community divisions. - Reproduced.  aViolence  aYouth  aMoslems  aPolice  aPolice Journal
