Collective violence_i.e., situations in which people are measurably
harmed by the joint contributions of others_has been a pervasive
feature of human history. Nevertheless, as bloody as more distant
human history has been, many scholars have concluded that the
violence of past centuries pales before the violence and
murderousness of the present one. This collection presents a range
of theoretical and disciplinary approaches to the subject of
collective violence. The distinguished contributors investigate the
factors that contribute to the social context of violence, and
examine the ways of thinking that allow participation in harmful
activities. Cross-disciplinary in nature, this book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of sociology, psychology,
ethics, criminology, and international affairs.
The fact that Auschwitz, Hiroshima, and Rwanda cast ominous shadows
forward into the future compels us to confront these horrific
results of the human head, heart, and hand. In Genocidal
Temptation, Robert Frey presents a compelling, integrated focus
directed toward the Nazi killing programs, American atomic bombings
in Japan, Tutsi massacres in Rwanda, Soviet genocide in Lithuania,
and other mass killing and repression programs.
