Abstract: This paper examines the phenomenon of extreme protest activities in the environmental and animal rights movements, and how their propagation can be simulated through the construction of agent-based models. It uses criminological theory to examine what factors cause a propensity for violent action to spread across social networks, and uses this as the basis for constructing agent-based models of the activist networks. The differences in the results emerging from the models enable inferences to be made regarding which elements in their construction may cause the differences. Modifying the models to explore how these differences in construction affect the outputs from the models enables us to further understand which real-world factors may contribute to differences in the spread of criminality through the social networks of activists.
