London – Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu damaged the credibility of the Police by promoting the toxic PREVENT programme and demonstrating a deeply problematic understanding of causes of violence as he lectures in Israel, one of the worlds most militarily violent countries.
During his speech, Basu urged the newly appointed ‘Independent’ PREVENT reviewer, Lord Carlile, who is on record saying he is biased towards the policy, to ignore ‘malign detractors’ and rather only engage with ‘critical friends’. A clear indication that the review is nothing more than a shallow rebranding exercise to bolster the toxic policy.
