👇 Check out the great work by #UTC_SCJS Dr. Dierenfeldt & @grdrawve @SociologyUa @uark_trc on reducing gun crime with the @ChattanoogaPD CGIC. With the help of many #UTC_SCJ grad students & funding from @DOJBJA, they have explored the importance of gun seizures & arrests!

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…

3. For this project, the RTV dataset team @CREXUiO will join forces with the team behind the United States Extremist Crime Database (ECDB) affiliated to @START_UMD & @uark_trc, thereby covering far-right violence in both Western Europe and the United States.

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)

@Jacravn Glad to be a part of the new INCONTEXT project and helping to move research on extreme far-right violence forward.

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.

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
