| dc.description.abstract | As radicalization into hate groups grows in the United States, it is becoming increasingly important to have a framework to assess how these groups come to be. Founded in 2015, Atomwaffen Division is a rapidly growing neo-Nazi hate group based in the United States with members in several countries around the world. With their far-reaching influence and focus on violence to achieve their goals, Atomwaffen Division has become an important case study through which one can understand similar groups. The Grievance-Ideology-Mobilization model by Peter Neumann is used to examine such groups by looking at the various grievances, ideologies, and mobilization tactics used by hate groups to recruit new members, gain traction, and enact change on the world. Through the Grievance-Ideology-Mobilization model, this paper will examine the hate group Atomwaffen Division to aid in the development and implementation of deradicalization procedures for hate groups in North America. | |
