Exploring Socio-Behavioral Correlates of Metabolic and Inflammatory Risk in a University Sample Residing Along the U.S./Mexico Border
Hispanic adults have an increased incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) at a younger age and diagnosis of certain cancers, including liver, stomach, and colorectal, which may be attributed to metabolic health. Several key metabolic health indicators, such as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), have been linked to obesity. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the complex relationships between socio-b…
Covid-19 Testing, Vaccine Perceptions, and Trust among Hispanics Residing in an Underserved Community
The Borderplex region has been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Borderplex residents live in low socioeconomic (SES) neighborhoods and lack access to COVID-19 testing. The purpose of this study was two-fold: first, to implement a COVID-19 testing program in the Borderplex region to increase the number of residents tested for COVID-19, and second, to administer a community survey to identify trusted sources of COVID-19 information and…
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Understanding How British and Indonesian Extremists Disengage and Why They Don't
This article compares how individuals from two different Salafi‐jihadi groups disengage from high‐risk activism and political violence. Drawing on original interviews, we explore the “push” and “pull” factors that influence our respondents' decisions to leave. We identify numerous push‐and‐pull factors that are consistent with previous research, including disagreements with group leaders over strategy and practices and educational and employment …
A Community of True Believers
This paper applies the concept of “communities of practice” to al-Muhajiroun (“the Emigrants”), an outlawed activist network that seeks to create an Islamic caliphate in Britain and the West through activism and proselytizing. Responding to recent studies on terrorism learning and adaptation, the author argues that focusing exclusively on the outputs of learning is unsatisfactory. Instead scholars should analyze learning as a process and unpack t…
Organizational Learning in the Global Context
Structure and Performance in a Violent Extremist Network
This study combines network science and ethnography to explore how al-Muhajiroun, a banned Islamist network, continued its high-risk activism despite being targeted for disruption by British authorities. We analyze news reports, interviews, and field notes using social network analysis and qualitative content analysis to test hypotheses pertaining to network structure and performance. Our analysis suggests that the activist network’s structural p…
Cyber-Terrorism in a Post-Stuxnet World
Hotbed of Radicalization or Something Else
A series of police raids in Príncipe Alfonso, a Muslim neighborhood located in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, “confirmed” law enforcement officers' worst fears: the barrio, long considered a hotbed of Islamist radicalization, had succumbed to the influence of extremists, making Spain more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. However, the meager results of the raids, as well as delays in the ensuing criminal investigation, raised troubling questions ab…
Dumb” Yet Deadly
Islamist militants frequently lack a talent for tradecraft. In recent attacks in Britain and Spain, terrorists made numerous mistakes: receiving traffic citations while traveling in “enemy” territory, acting suspiciously when questioned by the police, and traveling together during missions. Militants’ preference toward suicide operations restricts their ability to acquire practical experience, particularly when they lose their lives during attack…
Beyond the Internet
This study challenges the conventional wisdom that the Internet is a reliable source of operational knowledge for terrorists, allowing them to train for terrorist attacks without access to real-world training camps and practical experience. The article distinguishes between abstract technical knowledge (what the Greeks called techne) and practical, experiential knowledge (mētis), investigating how each helps terrorists prepare for attacks. This d…
The Architecture of Drug Trafficking
For much of the past twenty-five years, the US-led war on drugs has been premised on a fundamental misunderstanding of Colombian drug trade. Instead of being run by a handful of massive, price-fixing 'cartels', the Colombian drug trade, then and now, was characterized by a fluid social system where flexible exchange networks expanded and retracted according to market opportunities and regulatory constraints. To support this interpretation, I draw…
From Pablo to Osama
In wars on drugs and terrorism, states confront daunting adversaries: transnational networks of criminals and terrorists that carry out illegal activities, while avoiding government efforts to destroy them. These illicit enterprises share numerous similarities, including compartmentalised structures, flat decision-making hierarchies and an aptitude for organisational adaptation. While the US and its counter-terrorism partners have achieved substa…

Graduate Students Attend Meeting with Apsa Assistance
The impressive presentations by the students grew out their final projects for the graduate-level quantitative analysis and race and American politics courses they took during the five-week Institute. While at the Annual Meeting, the students were invited to attend panels and receptions and encouraged to meet scholars within the profession
