Summary:

This dataset is devised for teaching a mixed method approach grounded on computational and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques when working with social media posts. The term mixed method research refers to both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and data. This data is provided by Dr. Elisa Orofino and Dr. William Allchorn, senior research fellows at the Policing Institute for the Eastern Region (PIER) at Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom. This dataset is drawn from publicly available posts published by three radical activist groups on their social media official profiles. More precisely, this dataset includes textual material posted on Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram from the official group profiles of Earth First! (eco-radicals), Britain First (far right), and 5 Pillars (Islamists) between 2016 and 2021. This research centers on the narratives propagated by the three groups and their recruitment methods pre-, during, and post-COVID-19 lockdown(s) with a focus on the United Kingdom. The dataset file is accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.
