    Episode 28 - Controversial Truths with Dr. Craig McCann

    Episode 28 - Controversial Truths with Dr. Craig McCann
    Jeff Schoep & Acacia Dietz interview Dr. Criag McCann discussing the controversy over his recent article "Beware the Anti-Fascists, for they have become what they oppose." (https://beyondbarriersusa.org/beware-the-anti-fascists-for-they-have-become-what-they-oppose/) and the importance of challenging all forms of political violence regardless of the ideological motivation. Dr Craig McCann is an independent specialist adviser and researcher. As the Director of S.P.E.C.T.R.U.M. (Strategic Preventative Expertise to Counter Terrorism Risks using Upstream Measures) Universal Ltd. he provides consultative services for domestic clients and international development programmes with an emphasis on preventative counter terrorism strategy and delivery. He also writes, advises, lectures and provides commentary on the U.K. Prevent strategy, de-radicalisation / disengagement programming, online approaches to counter terrorism and responses to right wing extremism. Dr McCann holds a Law Degree and an MA in Criminology from the University of Kent at Canterbury. At the same university he completed his PhD which explored how the U.K. Prevent Strategy has been applied to right wing extremism since 2011. He subsequently converted this thesis into a book titled “The Prevent Strategy and Right-Wing Extremism: A Case Study of the English Defence League” which has been published as part of the Routledge Extremism and Democracy range. (https://www.routledge.com/The-Prevent-Strategy-and-Right-wing-Extremism-A-Case-Study-of-the-English/McCann/p/book/9781138320673) In this episode we discuss Dr McCann's article and more.
