Moral Identity and Its Implications for Terrorist Rehabilitation
Moral considerations can play an important role in the terrorist disengagement process, but little is known about the function of moral identity and its reappraisal in terrorist rehabilitation programs. This paper aims to provide new insights into terrorist rehabilitation by examining individuals’ moral reorientation as part of their rehabilitative process. It draws on in-depth interviews with 24 clients of the Australian-based Community Integrat…
Ethical conundrums
Ethical conduct in digital research is full of grey areas. Disciplinary, institutional and individual norms and conventions developed to support research are challenged, often leaving scholars with a sense of unease or lack of clarity. The growing availability of hacked data is one area. Discussions and debates around the use of these datasets in research are extremely limited. Reviews of the history, culture or morality of the act of hacking are…
Ideology and Cognitive Complexity in Terrorism
This paper aims to enhance knowledge about terrorist rehabilitation by exploring the role of ideological reappraisal as a potential foundation in these efforts. It combines practitioner experience and academic research to theorize the significance of ideology in the connection between entry and exit processes for individuals who have engaged in terrorism. The analysis draws from in-depth interviews with 24 individuals involved in the Community In…
The 2019 Christchurch terror attack
The Christchurch terror attack in March 2019 was a pivotal incident in the recent history of right-wing terrorism. Utilizing eight proximal warning behaviors from the Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18), this article provides a qualitative analysis of the attacker’s behavior following the formation of his terrorist intent. Events and activities were coded against the eight warning behaviors and assigned a date where known, ther…
The Local 'Salad Bar' of Hate
This paper examines a local manifestation of extreme right political mobilisation in Australia from the standpoint of Connell and Messerschmidt's (2005) global hegemonic masculinity. Using Messerschmidt and Rohde's (2018) methods for analysing violent extremists' public statements, we examine public blog posts by 'The Lads [sic] Society' to scrutinise the relationship between local advocacy for a white ethno-state in Australia and global hegemoni…

Online and Offline Coordination in Australia's Far-Right
Far-right extremism transpires in virtual and physical space. In this study, we examine how the Australian far-right extremist group 'True Blue Crew' attempted to coordinate their offline activities with their social media activism. To this end, we conducted a thematic content analysis of administrator posts and user comments present on the group's Facebook page prior to and following an organised street rally in June 2017. This online analysis w…
Passionate Belief
Ideologies sit at the intersection of thought and emotion, capable of inspiring some people to greatness and driving others to commit horrendous acts of violence. Providing more than just systematic arguments, ideologies encourage shared political identities, help explain social circumstance, and frame what actions need to be taken in response. Ideologies often carry a negative connotation, particularly in relation to acts labelled as terrorism. …
Our diggers would turn in their graves
Commemorating wars plays an important role in reinforcing a sense of national identity in many countries. Bellah's (1967) work on civil religion argues that such commemorations have a quasi-sacred character and can have cohesive-inclusive and coercive-exclusive effects. This article examines how references to the Australian New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) are incorporated into far-right messaging online where the Anzac legend is typically discusse…
Educating the children of returning foreign fighters
The emergence and subsequent decline of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria provides new challenges for Western governments facing the return of foreign fighters and their families to home soil. This article focuses on the children of returned foreign fighters and more specifically on the international responsibility to provide all children, particularly those most vulnerable and in need, with an education. A critical discourse analysis…
So How Do You Feel about That? Talking with Provos about Emotion
Participation in political violence draws on identities and world views that have been shaped and influenced by emotion. This article uses data drawn from interviews conducted with 15 former members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army to highlight some of the ways that emotion is intertwined with decisions to use violence in pursuit of a substate political goal. Six themes emerge that help to demonstrate how participant's emotional lives hav…
What Are They Really Doing?” An Exploration of Student Learning Activities in Field Placement
Social work students consistently identify their field placement as having the mostimpact on their learning. Despite this, research on learning activities used duringplacement and the impact on practice competency and social work identity is limited.This is the second paper from a research study exploring student experiences of learningon placement. Data were gathered from 263 social work students about 14 key learningactivities they experienced …
Student Satisfaction with Models of Field Placement Supervision
Field placements provide social work students with the opportunity to integrate their classroom learning with the knowledge and skills used in various human service programs. The supervision structure that has most commonly been used is the intensive one-to-one, clinical teaching model. However, this model is being challenged by significant changes in educational and industry sectors, which have led to an increased use of alternative fieldwork st…
Political rage
Recently there has been a renewed interest in the role of emotion as both a site of political knowledge and as a contributing dynamic in the stability or upheaval of political institutions. While it is widely recognised that emotion is directly implicated in terrorist behaviour, terrorism studies has not critically engaged in this revitalised theorising. As a small step towards addressing this analytical gap we argue that there is a need to see t…

Should Added Incentives be Given to Effective Public Administrators? Suggestions for a Research Agenda
There are few public programs which have escaped the vagaries of the economy and concomitant funding priorities. As a result, traditional strategies for public administration appear to be less cogent. A new vision in administrative approach is needed to address the realities of cutbacks. This paper discusses why innovative public administration methods are appropriate to the current and future context. A contingency perspective suggests an improv…
