Worst of the bad: Violent white supremacist groups and lethality
Abstract:

This study uses Social Network Analysis (SNA) to examine a network of
domestic white supremacist groups associated with one or more
ideologically motivated homicides between 1990 and 2008. SNA has
rarely been used to study domestic extremist and/or terrorist
organizations. Prior research using SNA has focused on foreign
individual members of terrorist networks like Al Qaeda. This project
begins to fill gaps in the literature by analyzing whether group
role/location within this white supremacist group network is
associated with greater levels of lethality. We find that the network
is decentralized but ideologically integrated. Groups centrally
located in the network are associated with more deaths. The study
provides a foundation for future research investigating the connection
between network location and lethality, the evolution of dangerous
networks over time, and lone-wolf ties to the larger white supremacist
movement.
