“…Banking procedures have affected the whole spectrum of the charity sector but have excessively affected Muslim charities specifically. This is largely because the decision to apply de-risking strategies and/or reporting terrorist financing is up to the non-expert individual conducting the banking transaction and is ‘largely informed by the impressions of the individual(s) conducting the transaction’ (Iofolla, 2018: 86). ‘Impressions’ by non-expert individuals are likely to draw on the popular societal perception of the intertwining of Islam with ‘terrorism’, thus shaping dominant society understandings of what terrorism ‘looks like’ and disproportionately affecting Muslim individuals (Whiting et al, 2021).…”

Writing ahead of the next ‘Independent Review’ of the United Kingdom’s counter-terror strategy, this article presents two inter-related arguments. First, that the current counter-terror legislation is counter-productive, according to its own logic, in achieving social integration. Second, that Islamic practices and conceptualisations associated with charitable giving hold potentials to offer a more inclusive understanding of social integration than that currently utilised in the United Kingdom. The actions of Muslim charities and practitioners within Britain (exemplified by service provisions during Covid restrictions) serve as an important tool for social integration. Thus, by exploring the potentials of Muslim charitable giving, an alternative solution to social integration in the United Kingdom is presented. Drawing from participant interviews with a range of Muslim charitable practitioners, this article argues that supporting British Muslim charities would assist social integration and the construction of ‘shared values’ assumed by UK counter-terror strategies to be a tool in combating ‘extremist’ narratives.

“…The proactive integrated support model disengagement and deradicalisation programme run by the New South Wales (NSW) corrections is an example of such enculturation and reformation (Inspector of Custodial Services, NSW Government, 2020). Walker et al (2018) argue that punitive measures such as criminal investigation and prosecution can prevent future terrorism by building a knowledge base of the case files that contain detailed information about the terrorist attacks, the findings of the investigation and the observations of the prosecution and judgement. The Nine Eleven Finding Answers Foundation is an example of such a knowledge base that includes information on terrorism-related criminal and civil cases (Gordon, 2011).…”

“…There are competing viewpoints regarding the most suitable strategy for preventing terrorism. Some scholars, such as Deflem (2010), LaFree and Miller (2008), Michaelsen and Goldbarsht (2018) and Walker et al (2018), argue that terrorism can be prevented through punitive measures, which are defined as the activities that inflict punishment on terrorists for their acts or the activities that are directed towards punishment. For example, Deflem (2010) and Michaelsen and Goldbarsht (2018) argue that punitive measure such as policing helps to prevent terrorism because the policing function helps to establish and restore law and order in the society by arresting the people involved in terrorism.…”

Purpose This paper aims to inform the readers about the preferred type of financial intelligence for early detection of terrorist financing activities. Design/methodology/approach Literature review methodology was adopted to find the existing approaches of financial intelligence and logical reasoning was applied to sort out what type of financial intelligence is more preferable for early detection of terrorist financing activities. Findings It was found that proactive financial intelligence executed through financial intelligence tools is the most preferred type of financial intelligence for early detection of terrorist financing activities. Research limitations/implications The research will pave the way for further research on how to design financial intelligence tools for the early detection of terrorist financing activities. Practical implications The financial intelligence units will use the preferred type of financial intelligence for the early detection of terrorist financing activities. Social implications It will help to establish peace in the society by thwarting terrorist conspiracies because early detection of terrorist financing through financial intelligence tools will stop the flow of funds to and from terrorists. Originality/value The originality of the paper lies in distinguishing proactive financial intelligence from reactive financial intelligence.

Unfolding the Past, Proving the Present: Social Media Evidence in Terrorism Finance Court Cases

During terrorism trials, social media activities such as tweeting, Facebook posts, and WhatsApp conversations have become an essential part of the evidence presented. Amidst the complexity of prosecuting crimes with limited possibilities for criminal investigations and evidence collection, social media interactions can provide valuable information to reconstruct events that occurred there-and-then, to prosecute in the here-and-now. This paper follows social media objects as evidentiary objects in different court judgments to research how security practices and knowledge interact with legal practices in the court room. I build on the notion of the folding object as described by Bruno Latour and Amade M'charek to research the practices and arguments of the judges through which they unfold some of the histories, interpretations, and politics inside the object as reliable evidence. This concept allows for an in-depth examination of how histories are entangled in the presentation of an evidentiary object and how these references to histories are made (in)visible during legal discussions on security and terrorism. The paper therefore contributes to the field of critical security studies by focusing on how security practices are mediated in the everyday legal settings of domestic court rooms.
