 In December 2017 Anderson released his independent review into the UK response to the Westminster, Manchester, London Bridge, and Finsbury Park attacks.
-His key recommendations urged UK security officials to get tougher on the rising threat of right-wing extremism and to treat it in the same way as Islamist terror threats. Security authorities should, he wrote, implement an 'equivalence of processes in analysing and dealing with all kinds of terrorism, irrespective of the ideology that inspires them'.

However, he noted that it was difficult to quantify exactly how many attacks had been thwarted 'in part because of uncertainty as to whether a lone actor was actually planning an attack and, if so, whether it would have crossed the threshold from hate crime to terrorism'.
