The paper draws upon ideas of decentred security, and governance and security assemblages, to explore the gendered nature of countering violent extremism. The paper focuses on the UK as an example of decentred CVE and concentrates on two areas. First, the paper looks at the evolution of modes of governing Muslim women in CVE initiatives. Second, the paper explores the tensions and frictions involved with the state and civil society using ‘formers’ (men who were previously involved in violent extremism) to engage in countering violent extremism community and de-radicalisation work. The paper finds that a decentred security governance approach to understanding CVE reveals how CVE is productive of MuslimWomen, of Muslim Communities and Violent Extremism. It also reveals CVE to operate not only according to formal documents and programmes but through an assemblage of beliefs, traditions and practices of everyday security.

本文借鉴了分散式安全，治理和安全组合的思想，以探索反暴力极端主义的性别本质。本文以英国为例，介绍了分散式CVE，并集中在两个方面。首先，本文探讨了在CVE计划中管理穆斯林妇女的模式的演变。其次，本文利用“前任”（以前曾参与暴力极端主义的人）来参与反暴力极端主义社区和消除激进主义的工作，探索了与国家和公民社会有关的紧张关系和摩擦。该论文发现，一种了解CVE的分散式安全治理方法揭示了CVE如何提高回教妇女，穆斯林社区和暴力极端主义的能力。
