Patterns of precursor behaviors in the life span of a U.S. environmental terrorist group
Research Summary This article discusses the paucity of data available for assessing the “life span” of a terrorist group. It introduces a new methodology that allows researchers to examine when terrorist groups perform their preincident activities. The findings suggest that differences exist in the temporal patterns of terrorist groups: environmental terrorist groups engage in a relatively short planning cycle compared with right‐wing and interna…
Geospatial and Temporal Patterns of Preparatory Conduct among American Terrorists
Although terrorism research has made significant strides during the past five years, even the most rudimentary patterns of terrorists’ behaviors remain unknown to scholars and analysts. In the current study, we analyze spatial and temporal patterns of criminal acts related to a variety of American terrorism cases and attempt to provide insight into these questions: 1) where do terrorists live in relation to the targets they select, 2) do they pla…

The Prosecution and Punishment of International Terrorists in Federal Courts
Research Summary: This study reports findings from the American Terrorism Study. The data show that from 1980 to 1998, the U.S. government periodically tried accused domestic and international terrorists through the use of traditional criminal trials. The extent to which federal prosecutors “explicit politicized” these trials (and the success that the politicization had) varied among the types of terrorist groups. Explicit politically was not fou…
Intervening Processes Between Adolescent Drug Use and Psychological Distress
The self-medication hypothesis suggests that individuals who experience high levels of psychological distress use drugs to relieve their pain. The extent to which this is the case (and to which people do feel better after using drugs) has had mixed support in the literature. The present analysis uses structural equation modeling of longitudinal data to explore how deviant disposition, deviant peers, and negative life events act as intervening var…
Terrorism, Politics, and Punishment
The sentencing literature generally has been characterized by an inability to explain Significant amounts of the variance in sentencing outcomes. Two major theoretical explanations have addressed this issue: structural‐contextual theory and the “liberation hypothesis.” Structural‐contextual theory suggests that the components of the justice system traditionally work somewhat independently of one another. This theory suggests that variance explain…
Negative social sanctions, self-derogation, and deviant behavior
This article reports the results of a multiple regression model that used longitudinal data (N = 2,545) to examine the interactive effects of negative social sanctions and self‐derogation on deviant behavior (net of the effect of earlier deviant behavior). The analysis was based on the notion that some of the apparently contradictory evidence surrounding the examination of the labeling perspective may lie in a failure of researchers to focus on t…
Punishing Political Offenders
Although political motive is frequently avoided as an issue in the prosecution of terrorists, previous research indicates that these offenders consistently receive longer sentences than nonterrorists convicted of similar offenses (Smith, 1994). This study assesses the ability of three theoretical models (consensus, conflict, and structural‐contextual) to explain these differences in sentencing patterns. Data on terrorists (N = 95), provided by th…
Did the Devil Make Them Do it
Newspapers and the antisatanism movement
This study examines the role of newspapers in the emergence of concerns that Satanism is a serious, growing threat to moral order. Data are from a content analysis of occult articles published in eight major newspapers across the United States between 1980–1989. Analysis reveals that, relative to other occult stories, Satanism stories increased markedly over the decade and that articles on Satanism are much more negative in tone than articles on …
