UK looks to treat misogyny as extremist violence, raising free speech crackdown concerns

The British Home Office will review the conditions and pipelines that lead people with extreme views to actually take action, examining Islamists and far-right violence as well.

Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news. 

Cooper revealed that she has ordered a "rapid analytical sprint on extremism" that will "map and monitor extremist trends," looking for ways to divert at-risk individuals from extremist views and "identify any gaps in existing policy." 

That catch-all for a range of views includes Islamist and far-right extremists as well as extreme misogyny or "fixation on violence" and causes of radicalization.
