Such strategies have caused concern for a securitization of social policy and stigmatization of vulnerable groups. This study aims at gaining insight into how Norwegian social workers involved in prevention work against violent extremism experience and manage role conflicts and emoti…
A Flying Reign of Terror? The Who, Where, When, What, and How of Non-state Actors and Armed Drones

This paper presents the main non-state actors involved and the areas in which they have used this tool, as well as how UAVs are used and procured. To date, armed UAVs have mainly been used by non-state actors in the Middle East and Central Asia. They have also been used in the conflict zones of Ukraine, Myan…

It Gets a Bit Messy: Norwegian Social Workers' Perspectives on Collaboration with Police and Security Service on Cases of Radicalisation and Violent Extremism
Social workers are a part of the prevention efforts against radicalisation and violent extremism in the Nordic countries. While multi-agency cooperation is not new in Norway, municipal cooperation with the police security service is. This cooperation, particularly its unintended consequences with a specific focus on the securitisation of “soft professionals” in the public sector, has been scarcely researched. We address this gap with findings fro…

A Flying Threat Coming to Sahel and East Africa? A Brief Review
Non-state actors have been experimenting with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for two decades. This has become widely known over the 5 years, as both ISIS and the Houthis have adapted weaponized UAVs into their repertoires. As the Sahel and East Africa regions experience a rise in violence from non-state actors, and given that groups here are affiliated with groups in the Middle East, this paper seeks to explore the possibility and likelihood of …
Wounding local hearts? Evidence from an empirical study of UAV attacks by state and non-state actors harming civilian populations
In the “global war on terror,” civilians have been harmed by US and other governments’ airstrikes, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks. This has led to public demand for more transparency into the harm inflicted upon civilian populations. Non-state actors have utilized UAVs for over a decade, and some have armed their UAVs, into kamikaze-style UAVs, or with grenade-dropping capability. This paper compares how UAV attacks by the United S…
Exploring Youths’ Willingness to Engage with Civil Society and Public Sector Institutions: The Untapped Potential of Religious Communities in Preventing Violent Extremism
Research on preventing violent extremism is still in its infancy concerning the question of who the target audiences might be willing to talk to if they need help. To explore this question, we utilized the “Young in Oslo” dataset from 2015, where attitudes toward the use of violence were expressed by students in upper-secondary school (n = 7801). Our analysis revealed that youths who support the use of violence were open to talking to adults in r…
A Scoping Review of Practitioner Research on Sensitive Topics
Practitioner research, which involves professionals such as social workers, educators, and nurses, is an approach that may help establish contact with hard-to-reach targets while also exposing the researcher to potentially sensitive and ethically challenging situations and dilemmas. Through a scoping review of the scholarly literature, this paper explores evidence of the effects that research on sensitive topics may have on the researcher and how…
