Sovereign Citizens: A Conversation with Dr. Christine Sarteschi

Originally derived from the tax protest and Posse Comitatus movement of the 1960s, sovereign citizens present a complex challenge to law enforcement and extremism researchers alike. As such, the Program on Extremism proudly hosted Dr. Christine Sarteschi, Professor of Social Work and Criminology at Chatham University and a leading expert on the sovereign citizen movement, for a virtual discussion that explored the ideology, tactics, and evolving threat posed by this anti-government movement. This fascinating and thought-provoking event was moderated by Research Fellow Luke Baumgartner.
