Title
‘What are perpetrators actually doing, and to whom?’ A call to focus on the actions of perpetrators of mass atrocities
Abstract
The book follows different perpetrator types - people who commit illegitimate and illegal mass violence can be understood as belonging to different categories and that those can be both defined and bounded. These categories span different levels of authority and power, and often reflect different motivations: the criminal mastermind, the careerist, the profiteer, the follower, the fanatic, etc.
