Este artículo analiza la evolución del paradigma de la estrategia antiterrorista y su manifestación más reciente en Europa: las políticas de prevención del extremismo violento (PEV). A través de una amplia revisión de la literatura que evalúa la PEV a nivel europeo, este artículo se centra en las principales consecuencias políticas y sociales de estas políticas, tal y como están siendo descritas en la literatura académica. La PEV, al centrarse en elementos abstractos e ideológicos –el extremismo– y poner el foco en las ideologías relacionadas con este, da como resultado una política de prevención que penetra y securitiza esferas sociales, domésticas y privadas, al tiempo que incorpora nuevos actores relacionados con la seguridad. Como se mostrará, esta lógica resulta problemática y, en algunos casos, contraproducente.
