Violence in activism has been a topic of interest for several
decades dating back to the earliest studies in the 1960s. This
study takes a multidisciplinary approach and investigates activism
within the contemporary context. It addresses the possible
influence that demographic characteristics and psychological
variables may have on the decision to engage in civil disobedience
and the type of behaviour chosen. Behaviours range from letter
writing to engaging in increasingly illegal and violent forms of
civil disobedience. Unlike previous research, this study also
investigates the influence that external instigating factors, such
as dimensions of threat, may have on violence in activism.
Dimensions of threat include the timing of the threat, the social
unit affected and the saliency of the threat.
