Rhetoric and hate crimes
The former Trump Administration introduced policies focused on tightening national borders and limiting migration. These policies were often prefaced with strong rhetoric designed to disparage or derogate international racial, ethnic, and spiritual communities seeking entrance to the United States. In response, the media and members of the general public suggested that Trump’s words and actions resulted in a backlash effect by significantly influ…
What's the plan? Broadening the MMIWG2 conversation in North America
Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit are at high risk of victimisation in North America. Although this experience exists across geopolitical boundaries, Canada and the United States have very different responses to this reality. This article identifies the varying efforts by each country to address missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2). It reveals that, while both still have much work to do, the United States is…
President Trump’s Travel Ban
The implementation of President Trump’s Travel Ban resulted in resounding support and opposition in the United States and abroad. Both opponents and proponents presented strong arguments focused in part on national security. The study reported here seeks to assess these claims by empirically examining the effectiveness of the policy in achieving its purported goal of decreasing terrorism. The study, using multiple analytical strategies, assesses …
NGO intervention in jihadist conflicts
Research suggests that an increase in the number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will increase terrorist attacks. However, the nuances of this relationship are unknown. This study seeks to examine the role that NGO activities have on terrorist activities in conflict areas. Specifically, it is hypothesized that, in regions where the terrorist organization (TO) holds jihadist beliefs, international NGOs will be viewed as threatening repres…
NGO interventions
Terrorist organizations (TOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) often advocate for the same oppressed communities. Both TOs and NGOs require the support of these constituents and the attention of the media in order to maintain legitimacy and recruit. Public support and attention is limited and difficult to acquire, placing TOs and NGOs in competition. Within the game theoretic framework, it is hypothesized that TOs will adjust their activ…
Anomic suicide
According to Durkheim (1897), periods of economic, social, or political change result in a state of anomie or normlessness. Anomic periods lead to deregulation of desires and suffering. Durkheim hypothesized that, as an expression of suffering, societies and groups experience an increase in suicide rates. This paper provides two formal tests of Durkheim’s (1897) theory of anomie - a behavioral aggregate analysis and an attitudinal individual-leve…
