U of A Terrorism Research Center Investigating Domestic Extremist and Terrorist Recruitment, Crime

J. Froelich
/
Ozarks at Large
A confederacy of right-wing Christian extremist groups gathered in 2016 in Harrison to protest a local LGBTQ Pride festival.

Researchers with the Terrorism Research Center, housed in the University of Arkansas Department of Sociology and Criminology, were awarded a major National Institute of Justice grant to conduct the most comprehensive comparative examination of risk factors associated with radicalization to terrorism and domestic extremist crime to date. We talk with lead investigators, Jeff Gruenewald and Katie Ratlcliff, the center's director and associate director about the grant project and the center's mission.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
