The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 was a bill sponsored by Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA)[1][2][3] in the 110th United States Congress. Its stated purpose is to deal with "homegrown terrorism and violent radicalization"[4] by establishing a national commission, establishing a center for study, and cooperating with other nations.
The bill was introduced to the House as H.R. 1955 on April 19, 2007,[5] and passed on October 23, 2007.[6] It was introduced to the Senate on August 2, 2007, as S-1959.[7] The bill defines some terms including "violent radicalization," "homegrown terrorism," and "ideologically based violence,"[8] which have provoked controversy from some quarters.[9][10][11] The bill failed to become law during the 110th Congress.[12]
