1. Modeling Civil Disorder Phil Graves Computer Systems Research, 2007-8

2. Fourth Quarter Progress Fixing police adjustment bug Adding simple reporter Adding geographically-oriented statistics Pro-government legitimacy modifier Anti-government grievance modifier

3. Original Model Visual Relative random distribution of active/inactive agents

4. Revolt Reporter Added reporter to determine when the system was in civil disorder Easy to do within NetLogo framework Variable (Boolean) REVOLT to be of use when possibly augmenting/decrementing government effectiveness in times of revolt First objective on the recommended list

5. Government Legitimacy Modifier Nearby jailed agents increase government legitimacy Adjusted from the extant base (which is altered with the slider)‏ Meant to help the model make sense geographically Simulates a domino effect during a government “offensive” against rebels

6. Grievance Modifier Nearby active (rebelling) agents increase grievances against the government among inactive agents Allows for a geographical effect of actually delineated regions of control Looks less like a bloody mess and more like what actually happens in real life

7. Effects and Usage of Geographically Oriented Modifications More useful for planners Serves as a foundation for further work in two directions Adding new geographically oriented features Ethnic groups Heartlands Terrain Altering government and rebel efficiency in times of “revolt” Domino effect
