Understanding the Cel: Vulnerability, Violence and In(ter)vention

该项目旨在改变人们对“Incel”社区（非自愿独身者）的认识和理解，以及易受影响的年轻男子被灌输厌恶女性的极端主义和在某些情况下大规模谋杀的背景。创造性的研究方法是核心的方法，由于研究团队的经验，使用这些方法与被剥夺公民权的社区（例如，Incredible和neurodiverent组）以及Incredible的做法，其中采用数字艺术制作的灌输过程。该项目与反恐指挥部和大都会警察局（MET）和苏格兰警察局的预防方案合作，以研究小组以往的经验为基础，利用跨学科和创造性的方法，为在教育，卫生，社会护理和刑事司法系统背景下工作的专业人员提供培训。通过发展一个专家跨学科网络、新方法和社会参与的办法，该项目的预防性方向力求拯救潜在受害者和犯罪者的生命。这将通过发展关于因特拉肯文化、这个复杂社区的身份和经历以及导致极端暴力和仇恨犯罪风险的因素的新知识来实现。在与大都会和警察苏格兰合作，我们将开发（一）培训和资源，用于识别和与Incel成员合作;（二）建立和咨询专家跨学科网络，以实现预防方案;（三）通过创造性的媒体和出版物交流新知识，提高公众的认识和理解。

This project aims to transform awareness and understanding of the "Incel' community (Involuntary Celibates), and the contexts in which susceptible young men are indoctrinated into misogynistic extremism and in some cases, mass murder. Creative research methods are core to the approach due to the research team's experience of using these methods with disenfranchised communities (e.g. Incels and neurodivergent groups) as well as the practices of Incels, which employ digital art-making within the processes of indoctrination. Working in collaboration with both counter-terrorism command and Prevent programming with the Metropolitan Police (MET) and Police Scotland, the project builds on the research team's previous experiences, using interdisciplinary and creative methods to develop training for professionals working in the contexts of education, health, social care and the criminal justice system. Through the development of an expert interdisciplinary network, novel methods, and a socially engaged approach, the project's preventative orientation seeks to save the lives of potential victims as well as perpetrators. This will be achieved through the development of new knowledge about the culture of Incels, the identities and experiences of this complex community and the factors contributing to the risk of extreme violence and hate crimes. In partnership with the Met and Police Scotland we will develop (i) training and resources to be used in identifying and working with Incel members; (ii) establish and consult with an expert interdisciplinary network towards a preventative programme; (iii) communicate new knowledge to enhance public awareness and understanding through creative media and publications.
