The central claim of this thesis is that deviant behaviour can be influenced (encouraged, magnified) by ‘ressentiment’, which can reside within the individual. This ‘ressentiment’ forms part of a complex array of situational factors called ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’, whereby individuals may experience a particularly strong influence on behaviour but are not predetermined to act in certain ways. In this thesis the author uses Nietzsche’s philosophical notions of ‘Nihilism’, ‘Slave Morality’, ‘ressentiment’, ‘Will to Power’ and the ‘Übermensch’ to build an existential picture of deviant behaviour. The author also draws upon the criminological/sociological notions of ‘Drift’, ‘Master Status’ and the ‘Techniques of Neutralisation’ (Sykes and Matza 1957) to introduce the new concepts of ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’ (previously referred to as ‘Causal Probability’); and the idea of ‘Situational Influences’. This undertaking is done with the intention of building upon the Meta-theoretical work of Owen (2007 – 2015), which seeks to build bridges between the social and physical sciences. The theory of ‘Flexible Causal Prediction’ is also applied to the deviant activities of internet trolling and anti-social behaviours to demonstrate the influences on behaviour. Nietzsche’s philosophical notion of ‘Slave Morality’ and ‘ressentiment’ will also be extended when looking at some radical social justice movements, such as ‘AntiFa’, ‘Black Lives Matter’ and the ‘#MeToo’ movement to demonstrate the role that ‘ressentiment’ may play in behavioural choices. To assist this analysis Saul Alinksy’s 1971 book ‘Rules for Radicals’ will be referenced to demonstrate how the rules are based on a collectivist ‘herd’ mentality of slave ‘ressentiment’ and how these rules have themselves lead directly to deviant behaviour, online and offline and how a political correct ideology could be responsible for encouraging such behaviours. 6 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION, METHODOLOGY AND META-THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK The seeds for this research project were sown in the author’s previous work called ‘A Critical Engagement with Piratical Opinion’ (Noble 2012) in which the views expressed by (so called) internet deviants were examined to better understand the motivations behind criminal behaviour. This not only provides the reader with a better understanding of their motivations/justifications, but also some indication regarding the identity of the person(s) committing acts of piracy. During this study it became increasingly apparent to the author that the sentiments expressed by some users resembled the Nietzschean notions of ‘ressentiment’, ‘slave morality’ and ‘nihilism’. Furthermore, the author became increasingly aware of a sense of users ‘reinventing’ themselves on the internet so that they could enjoy some form of ‘higher’ status. Acts of deviancy (in this case ‘piracy’) were the currency by which one could establish for the ‘self’ a greater status amongst one’s ‘peers’. It became obvious that there are similar traits on social media in the attitudes and utterances by some users and in political demonstrations. It also became apparent to the author that a ‘slave morality’ form of collectivist ‘ressentiment’ may underpin some of the actions and declarations of internet users. That a ‘slave morality’ form of collectivist thinking was helping to shape the narrative of some online individuals and groups. Some of these political pressure groups create a class of victimhood to give themselves moral authority over others in highly polarised contests for power. Offence appears to be the currency of conflict, with conformity to the ‘herd’ morality being the goal. This became the backdrop to this research project, the motivations of individuals and groups from a Nietzschean perspective. To assist the reader some of the key concepts which informed this project, will briefly be examined. Although it should be added that these are only summarised at this point as they are more fully examined in the main body of the text. Nietzschean Concepts The Nietzschean philosophical ideas, which we will be focusing on in this work are summarised here to clarify them in the mind of the reader. Here is a brief outline of the concepts which will be discussed in greater detail during this work: 7 Slave Morality “…the highest standard for the value for all individuals.” (Nietzsche, 2013, pg.115) ‘Slave morality’ is a form of ‘herd’ mentality, where values emerge out of a ‘ressentiment’ and born of repression. This group mentality will seek to impose its own values over other groups, most notably when the ‘herd’ possess feelings of impotent rage against what is perceived to be a ‘dominate’ other. ‘Slave morality’ therefore seeks to level the playing field; it promotes mediocrity as a virtue whilst simultaneously deflating the value of achievement. Mediocrity then becomes the code of ethics for the ‘slave morality’ of conformism and infantalisation. As Armstrong observes: “Instead of strengthening ourselves for competition, we blame others, and then pat ourselves on the back for not being like those dreadful people” (Ibid, pg.80). This weakening of character and self-worship will become obvious to the reader as we progress through this work; particularly when highlighting the actions of some social justice movements and moral entrepreneurs. Nietzsche (Ibid, pg.22) suggests that these traits are “a hatred born of weakness” by the powerless or those that inhabit a lowly status. ‘ressentiment’ As noted above, ‘ressentiment’ is born of feelings of inadequacy and a relativistic view of one’s circumstances in comparison with another. If one perceives another as enjoying status and privilege above that experienced by the self, one does not ask how it was earned, but instead develops a feeling of entitlement towards the goods/services/status that the other enjoys. To the ‘slave morality’ the question is not ‘How can I earn those possessions?’, but rather ‘Why don’t I have them?’. The latter point deriving from a feeling of entitlement and the former from

  • Violent Protest and Heterogeneous Diffusion
    BRITAIN FIRST AND THE UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY: SOCIAL MEDIA AND MOVEMENT-PARTY DYNAMICS1 Thomas Davidson and Mabel Berezin2 FORTHCOMING IN DECEMBER 2018 ISSUE OF MOBILIZATION. PLEASE CITE THE PUBLISHED VERSION. Social movement scholars have recently turned their attention to the interactions between political parties and social movements, but little is known about how social media have impacted these relationships, despite widespread adoption of these technologies. We present a case study of the relationship between Britain First, a far-right anti-Muslim social movement, and the U.K. Independence Party, the Eurosceptic political party that spearheaded the Brexit campaign. The movement appeared marginal in the press but it dominated social media, using this presence to support to the party. We examine the dynamics of the relationship between these groups from 2013 until 2017, drawing upon data from social media, newspapers, and other online sources, and focusing on interactions between elites and rank-and-file supporters. Our findings illustrate how far-right groups have used new technologies to generate an unprecedented amount of popular support and to attempt to influence the political mainstream. A number of western democracies have recently experienced a resurgence of right-wing political activity in both the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary sphere (Akkerman, de Lange, and Rooduijn 2016; Mudde 2016; Muis and Immerzeel 2017).

Olga Jurasz1 and Kim Barker2 1Senior Lecturer, Open University Law School, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom and 2Senior Lecturer, Open University Law School, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Corresponding author: [email protected] (Received 05 July 2021; accepted 05 July 2021) Abstract The emergence of new interactions, notably those online, has led to the parallel development of criminal behaviors—not all of which are captured by the current legal framework. This article addresses the challenge posed to criminal law by the emergence of technologically facilitated violence, specifically its sexualized online forms. In particular, it argues for cautious yet specific criminalization of violent behaviors online whilst considering the broader criminal liabilities of all actors involved in the facilitation and perpetration of digital sexual violence. This article draws upon national—contentious—examples of attempts to regulate disruptive sexual violence perpetrated through digital means, with particular attention given to provisions in the UK, Germany, and France.

  • Sureties Julian Assange
    JUDICIARY OF ENGLAND AND WALES JUDGE HOWARD RIDDLE, SENIOR DISTRICT JUDGE (CHIEF MAGISTRATE) IN THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES’ COURT PROFESSOR TRICIA DAVID AND OTHER SURETIES FOR JULIAN ASSANGE 8 OCTOBER 2012 Background In December 2010 Julian Assange surrendered to the UK authorities on a European Arrest Warrant issued in November that year by the Swedish Prosecuting Authority. At a second application for bail I granted conditional bail requiring the lodging of a security, and other conditions. The decision to grant bail was appealed and considered on 16th December 2010 by Mr Justice Ouseley in the Administrative Court. The grant of conditional bail was upheld but the conditions were varied. Among the conditions to be complied with before release was that a total of nine people were to enter into a recognizance to secure the surrender of Mr Assange at the time and place appointed. Sureties were taken in court and the defendant was released. An order for extradition was made by this Court on 24th February 2011, and Mr Assange was bailed as before. At that time the sureties were retaken, some at a police station and some at court, and made continuous to surrender for removal. Mr Assange was required to await his extradition with a duty to surrender to the police or any court, in connection with these extradition proceedings, at such time and place as he may be notified. The sureties were made subject to an obligation to pay the court the sum specified opposite their signature if Mr Assange failed to surrender to the custody of the police at such place, on such date, at such time as he may be 1 notified, or to surrender to the custody of any court if directed to do so in connection with these extradition proceedings.

  • Magistrates' Court Sentencing Guidelines
    Sentencing Guidelines Council Magistrates’Magistrates’ CourtCourt SentencingSentencing GuidelinesGuidelines Definitive Guideline FOREWORD The Magistrates’ Court Sentencing Guidelines have been a settled feature of magistrates’ courts for many years. This edition applies to all relevant cases appearing for allocation (mode of trial) or for sentence on or after 4 August 2008 and replaces the guidelines which were effective from 1 January 2004. It also supersedes the part of the Practice Direction covering Mode of Trial Decisions (Part V.51) in relation to offences contained within the guideline. This is the most extensive guideline produced by the Council and covers most of the offences regularly coming before a magistrates’ court which require decisions on allocation or on sentence. The guideline also contains explanatory material that sets out a common approach to more general issues. For the first time, there is a statutory obligation onevery court to have regard to this guideline in a relevant case and to give reasons when imposing a sentence outside the range identified. This guideline is the result of an intensive and consultative process, which has at all stages benefited from the involvement of key users of the guidelines. The Council is extremely grateful to all who have played a part in developing the guideline and has greatly appreciated the time and thought that has gone into the preparation of responses to each aspect of the consultation. The Council is also enormously grateful to the Sentencing Advisory Panel and, in particular, to the members of its advisory group, for the extensive consideration they have given, not only to detailed matters of content but also to ensuring a proper balance in the assessment of the seriousness of all the offences involved.
