Community Legitimisation of Irish Republican Paramilitarism in Belfast: A Criminological Understanding
What drives the frequency of terrorist attacks? Thematic analysis of a rapid evidence assessment
Historical Perspectives on Organized Crime and Terrorism
Cultivating Trust and Perceptions of Source Credibility in Online Counternarratives Intended to Reduce Support for Terrorism
Terrorism researchers have long sought to identify methods for challenging terrorist ideologies. The construction and dissemination of counternarratives has begun to receive substantial attention as a means of doing so. However, the effectiveness of this approach is contingent on message targets' trust in the counternarrative's content and source. This article draws from literatures on trust and online source credibility to offer preliminary guid…
Micro-Moral Worlds of Contentious Politics: A Reconceptualization of Radical Groups and Their Intersections With One Another and the Mainstream
The emergence or resurgence of radical political groups invariably provokes a struggle between activists, academics, commentators, and policymakers over the set of terms that best correspond to the group in question. While such debates are an integral part of political practice, scrutinizing the claims made in these debates reveals significant limitations in standard strategies of description—most notably their inability to satisfactorily render …
Copying to be Different: Violent Dissident Irish Republican Learning
While the impact of the Troubles retains centrality within much of Northern Irish political life, the spectre of almost daily violence is becoming a more distant memory. Peace has come to the region. In spite of this, however, there are those who wish to maintain the utility of violence to achieve their stated aims. Most dominant among these are the violent dissident republican groups. No longer is their existence solely defined by their desire t…
Fighting Talk: "The Statements of "The IRA/New IRA
With the advent of the new violent dissident merger, “The IRA/New IRA,” the group and its affiliates have had to legitimise their new existence. They have utilised the maintenance of paramilitary activity to achieve this. However, they have also produced a number of organisational statements, justifying their position, tactics, and strategies. This article analyses the evolution of these statements, both pre and post-merger from 2007 to 2015. 126…
Reloading the Armalite? Victims and Targets of Violent Dissident Irish Republicanism, 2007-2015
The centenary of the 1916 Rising marks a time of peaceful commemoration, across the island of Ireland. However, several violent dissident republican groups wish to seize it as an opportunity to re-organise in an attempt to bolster and legitimise their sustained paramilitary campaign. This study seeks to provide a greater understanding of how this paramilitary activity has manifested from 2007 to mid-2015. We do this by assessing target selection,…
Years of Irish Republican Violence
In this supreme hour the Irish nation must, by its valour and discipline and by the readiness of its children to sacrifice themselves for the common good, prove itself worthy of the august destiny to which it is called. 1 This is the closing line of The Proclamation of the Irish Republic, issued by the Easter Rising leaders on April 24 th , 1916.It has proven to be a call to arms, not just for the men and women of 1916, but for each future genera…

A Time to Think, A Time to Talk
This chapter examines the role prison as a forum played in the gradual acceptance of peaceful politics by the majority of those within the Irish Republican Movement. The mid 1970s and early 1980s in Northern Ireland are rightly remembered as being among the most violent years of the Troubles. The chapter argues that this period should also be considered as the beginning of the Republican Movements gradual advance towards the acceptance of peacefu…
Here to Stay? The Rising Threat of Violent Dissident Republicanism in Northern Ireland
Since the advent of the Good Friday peace agreement, violence associated with dissident Irish Republican groups continues to present major security challenges. While there has not been a tragedy on the scale of the 1998 Omagh bombing, the level of violent dissident Republican (VDR) activity has risen steadily in frequency since then, and in 2010 reached unprecedented levels. This article presents findings from the VDR Project at the International…
