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: https://t.co/HoDuoL4Nch

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: https://t.co/K7junIdnWa #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 --> https://t.co/EYnaYryGuX

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. https://t.co/83eTGysSj8

New ATS research brief provides historical context of seditious conspiracy cases since 1980. Check it out here --> https://t.co/SFUehUuaaG #uarkresearch @uarkfulbright

[Katie Ratcliff @katieratdata]

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

[Katie Ratcliff @katieratdata]

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)

[Katie Ratcliff @katieratdata]

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)

[Katie Ratcliff @katieratdata]

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

[UofA Division of Research and Innovation @UofA_Research]

"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."
