Three criminology professors have a federal grant to study police who join far-right extremist groups that engage in domestic terrorism, while one has another grant to study former and active-duty military personnel in such groups.

Students gain professional experience and expert education through UMass Lowell’s close partnership with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars.

A pair of federal grants totaling over $2 million will examine right-wing terror and the ethics of testing soldiers with artificial intelligence.
