dc.description.abstract | Democratic societies are challenged by various violent and organized groups, be theyterrorists, gangs or organized hooligans. In exchange for offering an identity, leaders in suchgroups typically require members to be violent. We introduce a simple model to capture thesestylized facts, and then study the effects of policing. We find that an increase in the marginalcost of violence always reduces violence, while increasing the indiscriminate fixed cost maybackfire and result in smaller and more violent groups. | en |
