Tom Swarbrick hears from Jonathan Hall KC, the UK’s Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, and Professor Aisha K. Gill CBE, Professor of Criminology at the University of Bristol's Centre for Gender and Violence Research.
They discuss the government's plans to treat extreme misogyny 'in line with terrorism'.
Home Office minister Jess Phillips has told LBC the "massive growing threat caused by online hatred towards women" cannot be ignored, following the Home Secretary announcing a fresh crackdown on "hateful beliefs".
She has asked officials to "map extremist trends" to form the basis of "a new strategic approach to countering extremism", including the rise of extreme misogyny.
Jess Phillips said: "The National Police Chiefs Council (have) concerns about the growing rise in misogynistic attitudes among young men, largely because of online content they're seeing.
"This isn't about criminalising people who are showing signs of an ideology, it is about preventing that ideology."
