Abstract: There is a tendency for research on state repression to focus on nondemocratic and non-Western states. The authors assume that all states are repressive and focus on state repression in Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom. They also distinguish between the repressive activities of state authorities and the repressive activities of individual state agents. In general, they uncover important differences in state repression as perpetrated by state authorities versus state repression as perpetrated by individual state agents. The authors also find that the ethnic minority population in this Western democracy was more likely to suffer from state repression than was the ethnic majority population, and they find that state repression was strongly influenced by economic conditions.
