Few studies have analyzed the movement quantitatively or assessed the effect of social arrangements on this activism. I propose that when disruptive structural changes occur, they will be considered threatening to working-class whites, the demographic group that comprises the membership of most white supremacist groups. Thus, I predict that when threatened, particularly in economic and political arenas, white supremacist groups are more likely to become active to address those threats. In order to test these hypotheses, this study uses zero-inflated Poisson regression to analyze how white supremacist groups respond to structural threats. I measure the number of hate groups defined by activity in each state and regress this measure on variables that capture demographic, political, and economic threats. 2009 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1259622011 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1259622011 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
