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.

2. Here, representation refers to the presence or absence of far-right actors in parliaments and governments, whereas repression refers to how repressive measures targeting far-right actors, or the lack thereof, might fuel or dampen extreme-right violence.

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 Consortium & UA Terrorism Research Center, thereby covering far-right violence in both Western Europe and the United States.

4. The project is funded by @RCN_Norway and @CREXUiO and has led to my appointment as Associate Professor Politihogskolen (the Norwegian Police University College), from where I will be leading the project.

5. Situated Politihogskolen, the project will pay particular attention to how policing and intelligence might affect extreme-right terrorism and violence across different national contexts.

6. Besides covering far-right violence, the project will also systematically cover far-right terrorism plots in Western Europe and the United States, including information about types of counterterrorism measures that most frequently deter such plots.

7. Project members include me, Madeleine Thorstensen @CRXUiO, Jeff Gruenewald UA Terrorism Research Center, Steven Chermak MSU School of Criminal Justice, and Josuha D. Freilich John Jay College.

8. Members of our eminent advisory board include Anja Dalgaard-Nielsen, chairwoman of Nordic Safe Cities, Tore Bjørgo, Director of @CREXUiO, @SLdeLange, Professor UvA Amsterdam, Claudius Wagemann, Professor Goethe-Universität and Kai Spurkland, police prosecutor affiliated Politihogskolen

9. The project is a collaboration between Politihogskolen, @CREXUiO and UA Terrorism Research Center. For more information, see politihogskolen.no/en/research/re…

Our next back-to-school piece from Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium is out now! In this brief, #RGVRC members Joshua Freilich and Emily Colozzi-Greene, along with Steven Chermak, A/Prof Nadine M. Connell is on sabbatical, and Brent Klein, introduce The American School Shooting Study. Read it now! ⬇️ rockinst.org/issue-area/ove…

New report out today examines timing, precise location, & motivation in 253 youth-perpetrated shootings on school grounds (1990-2016). There is considerable variation across these variables and policy interventions should be designed accordingly. Report: rockinst.org/issue-area/k-1…

Our Atlantic Hall was the backdrop for a seminar on the development of extreme-right violence and anti-government extremism this Tuesday. Big thanks to all our speakers and attendees for taking part in the discussion!
