The Perpetuation of Online Hate: A Criminological Analysis of Factors Associated with Participating in an Online Attack
Get PDFOnline extremism, or the use of information technology to profess attitudes devaluing others based on a characteristic such as race, religion, gender, or sexuality, is a growing problem. This has led to myriad harmful effects for some who are exposed to online hate. A critical first step toward stemming the tide of online hate is understanding factors associated with its creation and spread. To that end, this analysis examines factors associated with joining an ongoing attack against a targeted group online. We use insights from four leading criminological theories – routine activity theory, social control theory, general strain theory, and social learning/differential association theory - to investigate who is likely to join an attack on a targeted group when they view such an attack occurring. Using data from a national sample of 15 – 36-year-old Internet users, we conduct an ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results show support for social control theory and strain theory, as low levels of self-control and online strain are both positively correlated with joining an online attack. Similarly, we find support for the applicability of social learning theory; close engagement with online friends and groups is related to an increased likelihood of joining in online hate. Routine activity theory, however, is less relevant for understanding our outcome. Taken together, our findings shed light on factors associated with the perpetuation of online hate, and, in doing so, offer avenues for reducing its growth

The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her).

Introductory Notes on Engaging with Communities for Justice
Get PDFSince the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the rise in hate around the country has increased dramatically. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), in the days immediately following the election of President Trump, a wave of hate crimes and lesser hate incidents swept the country- 1,094 bias incidents in the first 34 days (Potok, 2017). More than a third of these incidents directly referenced Trump, his “Make America Great Again” slogan, or his infamous misogynistic, racist, xenophobic or other demeaning remarks

Delayed Judicial Review of Agency Action
Get PDFShould Congress be able to completely exempt the orders issued by a government agency from review by the courts? Some scholars argue that limiting courts’ jurisdiction in this fashion would be unconstitutional. What if, instead, Congress merely delays the point in time when a plaintiff may challenge an administrative order?
In recent years, courts have interpreted many statutes to only allow delayed judicial review of orders. This can cause judicial review to be deferred for several months or even years and, as a result, this mechanism can discourage meritorious challenges of orders. Despite the unfairness of delayed judicial review for potential plaintiffs, it is a widely accepted proposition that this form of review is nonetheless necessary in many contexts. This view rests on the premise that the alternative approach, immediate judicial review, would inevitably lead to two types of problems. First, it would cause a dramatic surge in frivolous lawsuits, which, in turn, would flood courts with challenges. Second, these lawsuits would significantly delay the enforcement of many statutes.
This article challenges this conventional wisdom. The arguments in support of delayed judicial review, while intuitively appealing, are not as persuasive as they seem. First, allowing immediate review would not lead to a significant increase in frivolous suits. Decisions on whether to challenge an order in court are mostly economically driven. Therefore, with limited exceptions, potential plaintiffs will tend to only bring claims that they believe they can win in court. The empirical evidence on statutes that have transitioned from a delayed to an immediate review approach shows that the increase in the number of challenges resulting from that change is minimal. Second, it is unclear that immediate judicial review would substantially delay enforcement. Orders retain their legal effect after being challenged. In fact, while the court is examining the merits of the case, copious daily penalties for violating the order keep accumulating. Therefore, plaintiffs still have a powerful incentive to comply with the order swiftly. In addition to addressing these misconceptions, this article also fills a gap in the literature by providing an analytical framework to evaluate the constitutionality of delayed review provisions under the doctrine of constitutionally intolerable choices
Ministering to Other People\u27s Fears: Effects of Anti-Muslim Hostility on American Muslim Participation in Public Life
Get PDFThis article explores the manifestations and effects of anti-Muslim hostility in the United States, asking how anti-Muslim hostility affects the nature of American Muslim participation in public life. It argues that cultural trauma among American Muslim communities, resulting from an expectation of routine harm, conditions the nature of participation in public life undertaken by many American Muslims. Drawing on original datasets documenting anti-Muslim hostility and outreach efforts undertaken by American Muslim communities, we can see that ministering to non-Muslim fears has become a central element of participation in public life. This burden of “humanization” pushes us to consider central elements of American “freedom mythologies” around public life and to ask what responsibility non-Muslims have in advocacy work on behalf of American Muslim communities
The Qualitative Essence of Servant-Leadership1
Get PDFRobert K. Greenleaf (2002) effectively embodied lesser known servant-leadership aspects such as prophesy, foresight, and the will to better society, often through personal and collective sacrifice. In his telling essay on Robert Frost’s poem “Directive,” Greenleaf showed not only his strengths in linear thinking, but his uncommon and profound gifts with regard to nonlinear, mystery-based, and more circular aspects of wisdom. This type of wisdom is more readily associated with poets and painters than business practitioners or social scientists
