Professor Neil Ferguson's CREST research, carried out at Liverpool Hope University, is focused on the processes, and pull and push factors, which help or hinder the transition from civilian life into and back out of terrorist activity. This is based on the analysis of approximately 100 anonymised transcriptions of interviews conducted with Northern Irish paramilitaries, ex-prisoners and former Loyalist and Republican combatants.
