Abstract
We investigate the hypothesis that {\gamma}-ray-quiet AGN have a larger tendency for jet bending than {\gamma}-ray-loud AGN, revisiting the analysis of Tingay, Murphy & Edwards (1998). We perform a statistical analysis using a large sample of 351 radio-loud AGN along with {\gamma}-ray identifications from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Our results show no statistically significant differences in jet-bending properties between {\gamma}-ray-loud and {\gamma}-ray-quiet populations, indicating that jet bending is not a significant factor for {\gamma}-ray detection in AGN.
