ABSTRACT
Chapter 3 presents an array of results associated with the cultural nuances that characterise the processes applied by Muslim community members to demonstrate trustworthiness and bestow trust in a climate of counter-terrorism. An analysis is presented outlining the impact, risks, and consequences of misinterpreting cultural cues that create room for misunderstanding and the loss of trust. This chapter highlights pitfalls and opportunities for police to build upon existing successes, avoid pitfalls, and seize opportunities to improve trust relations in an environment that is culturally complex, where there are examples of alienating Muslim communities and the withdrawal of Muslim leaders.
