  • Linking Conspiracy Beliefs and Violent Anti-Government Extremism

    Open AccessKristina Murphy, Adrian Cherney et al.ARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence2025

    Conspiracy theories, political polarisation and anti-government sentiment have proliferated in recent years. Similarly, trust in institutions is eroding, and forms of conspiracy-fuelled violence are now more widespread. While our understanding of how and why people come to believe in conspiracy theories is well developed, the consequences of such beliefs—particularly their link to violent extremism—is less well understood. We know little about wh…

  • Down the “Rabbit Hole” of Conspiracy-Fueled White Nationalism

    Open AccessKristina Murphy, Tiahna Mulholland et al.ARTICLEStudies in Conflict and Terrorism2024References: 6

    White nationalists represent a growing security threat worldwide. Of concern are their narratives and conspiracy theories that position immigrants of diverse color and religion as the feared “other”—outgroups that are perceived to threaten the values, resources and safety of White people. We use survey data from 570 White Australians to better understand how and why such perceived “outgroup threats” elicit prejudice toward non-White immigrants. W…

  • A Crime Prevention Framework for CVE

    Keiran HardyARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence2022Cited by: 1

    CVE is a diverse policy space involving efforts to build cohesive communities, support young people who are vulnerable to radicalization, and deradicalize convicted terrorism offenders.

In this paper, I argue that crime prevention should be preferred as a conceptual framework for CVE. I offer a criminological fra…

  • Australia’s encryption laws

    Open AccessKeiran HardyARTICLEInternet Policy Review2020

    To investigate terrorism, law enforcement and intelligence agencies increasingly require assistance from multinational technology companies including Facebook, Google and Apple. These companies can assist with decrypting secret communications or unlocking personal devices, but not, they maintain, without undermining the privacy and security of all their users. While other western countries continue to debate these issues, Australia legislated qui…

  • Resilience in UK counter-terrorism

    Open AccessKeiran HardyARTICLETheoretical Criminology2014Cited by: 8References: 16

    Resilience describes the capacity of an individual, community or ecosystem to mitigate the impact of a shock or disturbance and then to recover in its aftermath. In recent years, resilience has become the favoured solution for a range of contemporary policy problems including natural disasters, mental health issues and terrorism. However, the concept is understood far less in criminology and counter-terrorism than in other fields such as psycholo…

  • Bright Lines and Open Prisons

    Open AccessKeiran HardyARTICLEAlternative Law Journal2011

    The control order regime in Division 104 of the Australian Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) ('Criminal Code') is one of the exceptional measures introduced into Australian anti-terrorism law after the 2005 London bombings. Like the UK regime on which it was based, it threatens to erode long-established principles of public and criminal law by severely restricting individual liberty on the basis of future conduct and without prior determination of cri…
