This is the website of Mathieu Deflem, Professor of Sociology at the University of South Carolina. His specialties include social control, policing, counterterrorism, popular culture, and social theory. 

Current scholarly activities:
  • On October 31, I attend the Rage Against the Hate conference organized by Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center, at the Yale Club in New York City.
  • From October 4 to 14, I am in Israel for research on counterterrorism and policing since October 7. I will meet fellow scholars and experts, conduct fieldwork, and attend the Shabtai Shavit World Summit on Counter-Terrorism, organized by the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at Reichman University. Besides Herzlyia, I also visit Bnei Brak, Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Sderot, and Re'im, the site of the Nova music festival. My presentation planned for the conference is posted on YouTube.
