The Conference on the Resolution of Intractable Conflict (CRIC) was established in 2013 at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, to encourage research, analysis, training and education in political violence and long-standing community conflict.
CRIC brings together a multi-disciplinary research network applying cutting edge field-based research methods from the cognitive, behavioural and biological sciences. We work in collaboration with the policy community, to better understand and address extreme ideas and politically motivated violence.
For more information about the origins and necessity of the CRIC, Lord Alderdice wrote a paper for the New England Journal of Public Policy in 2017, which can be accessed on their website and referenced as:
