By combining two analytical tools — risk terrain modeling and conjunctive analysis — researchers can link location and risk of #terrorism. Discover more in a new NIJ-supported study by @UniversityOfArk and @RutgersU: nij.ojp.gov/topics/article…

How does risk terrain modeling help #LawEnforcement predict and prevent crime? Read about our term of the month, and other select resources that demonstrate the effectiveness of this tool designed to diagnose crime location patterns: nij.ojp.gov/term-month?utm… #CrimePrevention

Will update this brief in a few months with the outcomes from other Jan 6th-related cases. #seditiousconspiracy #researchbrief

First seditious conspiracy trial since the 2010s began yesterday, so thought I'd re-share our research brief from earlier this year. Has some background on the use of the charge and outcomes --> terrorismresearch.uark.edu/ats-seditious-…

HEADS UP! The deadline to nominate or submit for this year's division awards (Student Paper, Distinguished Scholar, and Early Career Impact) is next week. Learn more about the award submission requirements and process on our website at ascterrorism.org

We have a new Old Main sticker we'd like to share with you — because who doesn't love Old Main?! 🫶 The first three RTs 🔁 will get this new sticker in their mailbox compliments of Fulbright College. 😊

@uark_trc @uarkfulbright This brief was generated using data collected under a @OJPNIJ grant to create a federal terrorism court record repository. Project wraps 3/31 and will allow intel analysts, federal prosecutors, and researchers to access ATS data/docs via online platform. nij.ojp.gov/funding/awards…

New ATS research brief provides historical context of seditious conspiracy cases since 1980. Check it out here --> terrorismresearch.uark.edu/ats-seditious-… #uarkresearch @uarkfulbright

We (@uark_trc) will be releasing a more detailed research brief on these cases next week. Stay tuned! (3/3)

It's not a common charge and has led to mixed outcomes - previous ATS research shows defendants in terrorism cases opt for trial more than those in conventional criminal cases & defendants charged w/ §2384 do so at an even higher rate. Several have been acquitted at trial. (2/3)

Reading through seditious conspiracy (18 USC 2384) cases in the American Terrorism Study database. Statute used across decades against a mix of groups: Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional, United Freedom Front, Covenant Sword and Arm of the Lord, Portland Seven, etc. (1/3)

Had a great time connecting with other researchers and seeing the city at the @ASCRM41 conference in Chicago with the @uark_trc crew!

"The three-year project is one of the most comprehensive investigations to date examining risk factors for violent, non-violent, and cyber extremism, spanning across multiple terrorist ideologies." @uarkfulbright @uark_trc bit.ly/3q473eQ

Calling all @UArkansas @uarkfulbright students interested in studying terrorism, bias crime, & extremism - today is the last day to apply for a spring 2022 internship in the Terrorism Research Center! Apply online here: terrorismresearch.uark.edu/opportunities/…

Looking forward to getting this project started in a couple of months!

Check out our (@jeffgruenewald5, @uark_katierat, and Dr. Summer Jackson) new study on female terrorist defendants published in @CandD_Journal - download and read the article here: doi.org/10.1177/001112…

On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the attacks, we remember those we have lost.
