Threatened sets out the types of extremism the world has seen in recent times and the alarm that has been raised about what might happen in the future. Case studies from Australia and around the world illustrate the level of extremism that is prevalent—from antisemitism to terrorism with actions taken by authorities in Australia and around the world are highlighted. In this book, questions are answered about how citizens can identify extremism, radicalisation and subversive behaviour and what to do about it.

* Threatened is a clear and concise perspective from a trusted Australian journalist on growing global threats–extremism, antisemitism, radicalisation and terror–using real-world examples. * Author Chris McLeod skillfully breaks down some of the most complex social issues in both a comprehensive and accessible way. Threatened is a ‘ready reckoner’ or a ‘go to resource’ for any reader seeking to understand and be informed. * Includes practical steps on raising civic awareness, reinforcing the importance of vigilance, social responsibility and community and individual action. * Topics explored include: * Recent surge in antisemitism across the globe * What you should know about radical extremism and what action someone concerned about radicalisation should take * Inciting hatred: are hate speech laws tough enough? Do they go too far and impinge on people’s rights? Where is the right balance?
