The Counter-Extremism Strategy published in 2015 covers all forms of extremism and a key part of that strategy is about building our understanding wider extremism issues, including those affecting the Sikh community.

Such research cannot routinely be published for security reasons and to ensure we can continue effectively to tackle these forms of extremism.
