The Case for Collective Hate: Simulating the Formation of Hate Groups

摘要: The purpose of this research is to employ simulation modeling test theories group formation as they pertain hate groups: groups whose ideology may or not condone violent criminal behavior. As 2010, there were 1002 known be active in the United States. Previous examinations have assumed formation. This paper uses Hamm’s (2004) criminological theory collective hate. Simulation designed create a computer that simplifies people and their interactions mimic real world event phenomena. Two different experiments tested using three models These importance personal societal levels also hypotheses regarding number form, speed size. Data these was collected from Thirteen thousand model iterations. All successfully generated groups. Hate at all An indepth understanding how form assist slowing proliferation decreasing appeal.
