Prevent seeks to divert people away from being radicalised into terrorism and back towards lawful life within society. No counter terrorism programme will ever be able to shield us from all harm, but every society has a duty to try to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Each attack causes incalculable and endless pain to the families of those murdered and tears at the fabric of our democratic society. Terrorism is a ruthless and deliberate act to murder innocents and to destroy the freedoms we cherish.
