Today @CrexUiO launches the RTV Map Tool. This #openaccess tool provides detailed information, incl. geolocation, on right-wing violent attacks in Western Europe since 1990. A thread 1/10 sv.c-rex.uio.no/RTVMapTool/

Problems of measurement validity and representativity is major challenge in the study of far-right terrorism. In the @CrexUiO/@PERIL_AU-webinar on methods and ethics this Thursday, @Jacravn will explain why. Please join us! sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/…

COMING SOON: Updated RTV dataset and new trend report. Our data shows that almost 50% of all severe far-right violent attacks in 2021 were committed by gangs or unorganized groups. 92% of these attacks were spontaneous.

COMING SOON: Updated RTV dataset and new trend report. Our data for 2021 shows two fatal far-right attacks in Western Europe (Germany and Spain). Both fatal attacks were committed by lone actors, triggered by spontaneous confrontations.

COMING SOON: Updated RTV dataset and new trend report. Our data shows stable levels of spontaneous far-right attacks, but decreasing numbers of premeditated attacks between 2015 and 2021.

1. How is political violence shaped by shifting political climates? I am excited to announce that for the coming four years, I will be leading the INCONTEXT-project, investigating how far-right representation and repression impact on extreme-right violence in Western democracies.

What role did COVID-19 and BLM play in right-wing violence and terrorism? @madelemtt and @Jacravn summarize the main findings of the RTV Trend Report 2020, on right-wing terrorism and violence in Western Europe on the @CrexUiO RightNow! blog. sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/…
