CapX: Ministers need to wake up to the threat in our prisons
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Robert Jenrick is continuing to annoy all the right people. This weekend he turned his focus to the appalling attacks on front line prison staff, including by terrorists, that have left dozens of wounded, maimed and traumatised officers struggling to contain the threat in our High Security prisons.
Jenrick asked me to produce a rapid analysis of the current terror threat drawing on my experience as a former government reviewer of the UK threat and my work around the world on managing highly dangerous people. While this paper could not have access to the ongoing official review, I did think I had enough expertise to add to the debate. The criminal justice commentariat were apoplectic. Why?"

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
