Differentiating Specific Forms of Violent Extremist Intentions in a General Population Survey
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Susceptibility to Violent Extremism
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are harms that affect children directly (e.g. physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect) and indirectly through their living environment (e.g. conflict between caregivers, witnessing domestic abuse, and caregiver substance abuse, incarceration, or mental illness). There is a growing literature on the link between ACEs and the later onset of violent extremist outcomes. This study uses a nationally representa…
The Whole Is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts
This study examines how behavioral indicators co-occur as “risk profiles” across different domains relevant to risk assessment as theorized by a Risk Analysis Framework, and how these profiles impact upon vulnerability to radicalization. We unpack both the inter- and intra-domain relationships among profiles, identifying the relative importance of cumulative or interactive effects. We apply latent class analysis, a series of ANOVAs, and moderator…
The Impact of Public Holidays on Insurgent Attacks
This paper analyzes Malay-Muslim insurgents' attacks in the three southern provinces of Thailand between the years of 2010-2021 and identifies the role of public holidays on the level of violence. The existing literature suggests terrorists consider holidays during attack planning. However, there is a lack of agreement on the effect direction. Some studies have found that holidays are a force for peace while others have found they can act as trig…
A Multi-Level Analysis of Risky Streets and Neighbourhoods for Dissident Republican Violence in Belfast
This paper uses graph theoretical measures to analyse the relationship between street network usage, as well as other street- and area-level factors, and dissident Republican violence in Belfast. A multi-level statistical model is used. Specifically, we employ an observation-level random-effects (OLRE) Poisson regression and use variables at the street and area levels. Street- and area-level characteristics simultaneously influence where violent …
A Simulation Model of the Radicalisation Process Based on the Ivee Theoretical Framework
This paper presents a simulation model describing the radicalisation process. The radicalisation process is a complex human socio-environmental process which has been of much academic interest for the past two decades. Despite this it is still poorly understood and is an extremely di icult area for social scientists to research. It is a subject which su ers from a lack of available data, making the construction of an e ective simulation model par…
Spatial Decision Making of Terrorist Target Selection
Guided by previous research and recent empirical analyses, this paper gives insight into elements that characterize the spatial decision making of terrorist target selection. Five key factors explain why targets are chosen by terrorists. The authors propose that, generally, targets will be selected when they are Tolerable, Relevant, Accessible, Close and/or Known. This is followed by a discussion of attacks witnessed between January 2013 and Dece…
Lone Actor Terrorists
Although there has recently been a considerable increase in research into lone actor terrorism, one of the main areas that remains understudied is that of target selection. The lack of empirically driven studies that can guide prevention measures is a notable oversight. This paper applies methods from environmental criminology to examine the residence-to-attack journeys of 122 lone terrorist acts in the U.S and Europe. The distance decay effect w…
Terrorist Decision Making in the Context of Risk, Attack Planning, and Attack Commission
Terrorists from a wide array of ideological influences and organisational structures consider security and risk on a continuous and rational basis. The rationality of terrorism has been long noted of course but studies tended to focus upon organizational reasoning behind the strategic turn toward violence. A more recent shift within the literature has examined rational behaviors that underpin the actual tactical commission of a terrorist offence.…
