From Spiral to Stasis? United Kingdom Counter-Terrorism Legislation and Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism

Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, 2025, vol. 48, issue 7, 763-783

Abstract: This article critically evaluates the impact of existing terrorism offenses in countering extreme right-wing terrorism (ERWT) in the United Kingdom (U.K.) in order to examine why this developing threat to security has yet to elicit any legislative counter measures. Informed by evidence from a comprehensive dataset of ERWT convictions between 2007 and 2022 it finds that terrorist offenses have been sufficiently adaptive as to have had a significant impact in countering ERWT, negating any need for reform. Concerns, however, are identified in the application of existing measures and suggestions are made as to how they should be addressed to enhance their impact.
