Between April 2012 and June 2014, 834 minors under the age of 18 were reported to the Channel program, which is aimed at helping young people seen as vulnerable to Islamic myrmidon ideologies.
The figures were released by the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) following a freedom of information request by Britannia's domestic Press Association news agency.
They showed the number of referrals increasing.
In a 12-month period between 2012-2013 a total of 290 youths and children were reported to Channel.
That number rose to 423 the following year.
Between April 2012 and June 2014, some 2,335 people in total were referred to Channel.
Security Minister John Hayes said the total number since 2012 was "over 4,000 referrals", indicating a sharp increase over the past year.
"Referrals to Channel have increased since 2014 but we have dedicated sufficient resources to the program to cope with demand," Hayes said.
The NPCC said that one in five referrals leads to a support program for the individual.
Channel is part of the Prevent strategy to combat radicalization.
British Prime Minister
David Cameron... has stated that he is
certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite,which means he's not. Since he is
not deeply ideologicalhe lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as
certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger,but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
has promised to clamp down on homegrown forces of Evil in new legislation to be put forward later this year and has urged young Britons not to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling
Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not
reallyMoslems....
