“…The subject of these stings is offered money, weapons, and anything they would need to commit the act by the F.B.I. (Norris and Grol-Prokopczyk 2018). However, they never actually get anything concrete.…”

“…They come in all shapes and sizes, but, unsurprisingly, they are not dealt with in a universal way. Two types of terrorism will be considered in this paper-"right wing" terrorism and "neojihadi" terrorism (Norris and Grol-Prokopczyk 2018). Right wing terrorism acts motivated by far-right ideologies; white supremacist movements, anti-government movements, etc.…”

“…According to Norris and Grol-Prokopczyk (2018), "The database includes 68 right-wing prosecutions, 190 neojihadi prosecutions, and 13 left-wing prosecutions, yielding a total of 271 cases in our analyses." They conducted statistical tests to create entrapment scores for each case, then chose the top five right-wing entrapment cases to review quantitatively.…”

“…It is important to note that right-wing terrorists are often white men of privilege. In other cases of terrorism, the perpetrator is often a disadvantaged minority (Norris and Grol-Prokopczyk 2018).

Framing effects on fear of terrorism and willingness to sacrifice civil liberties Ellory Dabbs The purpose of this research was to determine whether differences in the way the media frames an act of violence leads to different reactions by consumers. In particular, it was hypothesized that the ideology and race of the perpetrator would lead to differences in perceptions of whether or not the attack was terrorism. A vignette-style experiment was performed using respondents recruited via MTurk. Four versions of the vignette were evenly distributed to 441 respondents, changing whether the frame contained a photo, the ideology, and the name of the perpetrator. Using measures of fear from this data it was then investigated whether or not fear made respondents more willing to trade their civil liberties for a feeling of increased security. Though few significant findings were discovered in this research, it is believed that the findings will contribute to the broader topic by suggesting new directions for terrorism and media framing research in the future iii
