RICU 'radicalisation' placement

Stevens undertook a placement at the RICU from November 2007 to march 2008. The placement funded jointly by the Home Office and the FCO was undertaken under the auspices of the ESRC. The purpose of the placement was to 'conduct a study of radical weblogs (‘Blogs’) over the period of the placement, as well as to provide more general advice and assistance on RICU business.'[2] According to the ESRC: 'the nature of this study is somewhat sensitive. Consequently, the exact aims and outcomes of the project will not be publicised.'[3] This secrecy is unusual in ESRC funded resarch. The Research council notes that 'In general terms, however, identification of a community of bloggers, and a hierarchical structuring in terms of importance forms its core business.'[4]

Other information about the project includes:

In addition to this stand-alone project it was also agreed that participation in seminars, presentation of work, commenting on other issues of interest to RICU staff, and fortnightly reporting on issues of interest arising from Blog monitoring would be undertaken, as well as providing any specialist advice on fundamentalist recruitment and beliefs, as and when requested.[5]
