Yeah if the primary focus is on Prevent then its scapegoating.

Indeed, it says it right at the start:

Prevent’s assessment of the danger posed by Axel Rudakubana followed policy at the time

Now it could be argued that other services binning dangerous kids onto them because they don’t have the budget has forced them to strictly apply their criteria but it is there to prevent terrorism not assess everyone who poses a threat.

I’d hope it would lead to more systematic reform but I fear a few heads will roll and that will be deemed to be suitable action. While I am aure Labour would love to pin the blame in the Tories, any solutions to the mess from the previous administration will be expensive and the cupboards are bare.
