Counter-terrorism: Prosecutions

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 16 July 2025UIN 66020

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of Prevent cases resulted in prosecutions for Islamist-related offences during the past year.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

Prevent seeks to intervene early and provide support to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. Prevent is not an investigative tool or a criminal sanction, and prosecution is not the intended outcome.
