<strong>Lone</strong> <strong>wolves</strong>: <strong>myth</strong> <strong>or</strong> <strong>reality</strong>?<br />
Searchlight has investigated nazi and fascist <strong>or</strong>ganisations and key individuals since its<br />
f<strong>or</strong>mation in 1964. Searchlight analyses and uses the results of that intelligence to prevent<br />
fascist <strong>or</strong>ganisations from growing and harming democracy.<br />
Searchlight's investigative w<strong>or</strong>k has contributed to the arrest and conviction of<br />
fascist criminals, including terr<strong>or</strong>ists, the prevention of specific crimes, and<br />
disruption of activities of fascist <strong>or</strong>ganisations that risk causing harm to communities.<br />
Many members of fascist <strong>or</strong>ganisations are heavily involved in crime and so by limiting<br />
the growth of these groups and diverting potential recruits, Searchlight also contributes<br />
to crime prevention.<br />
Since 1975 Searchlight has published a monthly magazine and occasional other<br />
publications. Searchlight has given evidence to Parliamentary enquiries and w<strong>or</strong>ked on<br />
two European Community rep<strong>or</strong>ts on racism and xenophobia. Searchlight also supplies<br />
inf<strong>or</strong>mation to the media and has been involved in the production of several maj<strong>or</strong><br />
television documentary programmes exposing the activities and operations of fascists<br />
and their <strong>or</strong>ganisations.<br />
In 2002 the British National Party started winning local council elections. Because of this,<br />
Searchlight has devoted increasing resources to developing effective campaigning<br />
strategies under the banner of HOPE not hate, which w<strong>or</strong>ks closely with those sections of<br />
society most under threat from the BNP. HOPE not hate continues to be intelligence-led.<br />
