New Book Release: Social Work and Countering Violent Extremism

CPN-PREV’s longtime collaborator and partner, David Yuzva Clement, recently co-authored Social Work and Countering Violent Extremism: Case Management, Direct Practice and Multi-Sectoral Collaboration, a book aimed at social work audiences that introduces them “[…] to the current field of countering violent extremism (CVE), offering an international perspective on its theories, approaches, and prevention and intervention practices.”

According to the book’s description:

“Addressing CVE from a social work perspective is an innovative and timely undertaking. Across the globe, social workers are key stakeholders in the field of CVE and many CVE programs employ social workers to practice in different intervention programs. On a theoretical and conceptual level, due to how the field of CVE has emerged in many countries, social work has to date been largely absent from CVE research and knowledge production. This book fills this gap by covering the following areas:

• Bridging the Gap between Social Work and Countering Violent Extremism

• An Overview of Radicalization and Extremism Terminology and Theory

• Disengagement and Exiting from Violent Extremism: Holistic Assessment, Case Management, and Clinical Practice

• Multi-Agency Collaboration, Youth Radicalization, Family Interventions, and Justice Settings

• Outlook and Opportunities for Social Work and Beyond”
