Many congrats! I'm so glad I got the chance to read it for the committee -- truly awesome work!

This is awful and sad, for you but also for those who won't learn from it.

Thanks so much!

These results indicate that studying violence, governance or ideology in isolation paints an incomplete picture of civilian support for armed actors.

There is also mixed evidence that the quality of state governance, particularly the provision of security from crime, shapes the ways people respond to military victimization.

Using LAPOP data on Colombia, I find that military victimization has a less negative effect on support for the state among people who are ideologically aligned with the president.
