Axel Rudakubana's anti-terror referral should have been kept open, review finds

A review found that Axel Rudakubana's case with the Prevent counter-extremism scheme was closed prematurely, despite multiple referrals and concerns about his behavior.
Home Office Minister Dan Jarvis stated that there was too much focus on ideology, neglecting the perpetrator's grievances and needs.
Rudakubana, who had expressed interest in terrorist attacks, murdered three young girls at a dance class in Southport.
The Government plans to introduce new terror orders for young people who refuse to engage with Prevent and Channel programs, according to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
