Derby: Muslim leaders say city is winning battle against extremism

This is Derbyshire, Muslim leaders say city is winning battle against extremism, 24 Apr 09

"Under the Derby City Council-run Channel Project, people like teachers, social workers or housing officers identify impressionable people they think may be at risk of radicalisation.

"This could mean, for example, that youngsters have shown an interest in extremist material on the internet or in books.

"After the person has been identified, a panel of different agencies, including members of the Muslim community and the police, create a tailored "programme of intervention"."
