The UK government has published a strategy to tackle violence against women and girls, which includes reforms to health, the justice system, the police, victim support and education. Media coverage of the strategy has highlighted possible anti-misogyny courses for high-risk boys and training for teachers, although official documents do not explicitly mention this. Boys at risk of radicalization should be approached with compassion, not suspicion. Such interventions should be carefully designed to avoid negative academic outcomes and stigmatization, and should examine the root causes of boys' attraction to misogynistic attitudes and groups. Strategic concerns relate to how to identify high-risk boys, as there are no designed or validated structured risk assessments. Teachers are not trained as risk assessors, and relying on professional judgment can introduce bias and undermine teacher-student relationships. Incorrect classification is a risk.
