The Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC) is a think tank set up by Civitas "following widespread and longstanding concern about the diminishing sense of community in Britain"[1] According to a BBC Newsnight programme on 5 September 2007 the CSC was a "right leaning think tank".

A major focus of CSC are trends in Muslim society in the UK, how they are integrating or not, and the radicalized sections of that society.
