The role of gender in Political Violence
Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 2020Co-Authors: Rose McdermottAbstract:Gender plays a prominent role in many aspects of Political Violence. First, it contributes to its occurrence. Second, sexual Violence causes enormous suffering during conflict. Last, sustainable peacekeeping depends on female inclusion and participation. The prominence of gender in Political Violence rests on the dominance of men over women in many aspects of Political, social and economic life. Inequities in family law and perversions in the marriage market, especially polygyny, contribute to the perpetuation of male dominance hierarchies in ways that increase the likelihood and costs of Political Violence for everyone.

Health Services, Effects of War and Political Violence on*
Encyclopedia of Violence Peace & Conflict, 2008Co-Authors: Anthony B. Zwi, Antonio Ugalde, Patricia RichardsAbstract:There is increasing recognition that Political Violence and war present a significant negative impact on health services and health systems. They also present opportunities, however, for the development of new services and systems; the challenge of confronting adversity allows for innovation, creativity, and the emergence of new technologies and systems that may have some positive benefits for health. This article examines how Political Violence of various forms affects health services and health systems. It presents a model reflecting the mechanisms by which war and Political Violence adversely affect health systems and seeks to demonstrate the variety of ways in which this occurs. We highlight the challenges facing the health systems in their attempts to maintain activity despite adversity. Lastly, we focus attention on societies emerging from conflicts and seek to highlight the role of international aid and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in supporting the reestablishment and development of health systems.

Political Violence in the Third World: a public health issue
Health Policy and Planning, 1991Co-Authors: Anthony B. Zwi, Antonio UgaldeAbstract:This paper examines the various forms and extent of Political Violence in the Third World and to stress its importance as a Political and a public health issue. Four different types of Political Violence are discernible: structural repressive reactive and combative. These affect the determinants of health resulting in increased morbidity mortality and disability. The role of health workers differs depending on the circumstances; it should also include documentation and research treatment and care training and education and advocacy work to prevent the harmful effects of this Political Violence. The greatest effort must surely be expended in seeking to prevent the global proliferation of Political Violence and its repercussions.

Political Violence and Crime
Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice, 2017Co-Authors: Vincenzo RuggieroAbstract:Political Violence includes an array of conducts and events that defy unilateral examination. It may be authorized or unauthorized Violence, and while the latter is almost always associated with crime, the former is normally deemed an expression of the legitimate monopoly in the use of force characterizing modern societies. There are institutional and anti-institutional forms of Political Violence, namely Violence of the authority and violent expressions of defiance against authority. Both have been the object of analysis by sociologists and criminologists, with some contending that theories of ‘common’ Violence should be applied to the analysis of Political Violence. It is assumed, for example, that both types of Violence possess a goal-directed character: achieving results, extracting something of value from others, or exercising justice by punishing wrongdoers. Other analysts, however, link Political Violence with social conflict derived from collective grievance around inequality and injustice, thus locating this type of Violence within the tradition of social movement analysis and the dynamics of collective action. Conflict theory provides a prime framework for this type of analysis, which focuses on contentious issues, organizational matters and the shaping of identities that lead aggrieved groups to turn to Violence. Sociological and criminological theories also offer a rich analytical patrimony that helps focusing on Political crime committed by states and their representatives occupying powerful social positions. Many contributions, in this respect, cover atrocities perpetrated by institutional actors and the different forms of conscious, unconscious, personal, cultural, or official, denial accompanying such atrocities. The term Political crime, therefore, ends up relating to state crime, Political and administrative corruption, and a variety of crimes of the elite normally included under the umbrella definition ‘the crimes of the powerful’. Conversely, when the focus moves onto Political Violence perpetrated by anti-institutional or non-state actors, the term ‘terrorism’ is usually referred to, a term that is not likely to meet universal acceptance or unquestioned adoption due to the difficulties social scientists find in defining it. In sum, Political Violence and crime present scholars and practitioners with the same ambiguity that connotes definitions of social behavior and the processes of its criminalization. Such ambiguity becomes clear if, as proposed in the following pages, Political Violence and crime are examined through multidisciplinary lenses, particularly those offered by social theory, philosophy and criminology.

Understanding Political Violence: A Criminological Analysis
2006Co-Authors: Vincenzo RuggieroAbstract:Understanding Political Violence introduces Political Violence in the context of sociological and criminological debates. The author distinguishes between Political Violence from below, for example collective Violence, insurgency, armed struggle and terrorism; and Political Violence from above, which includes indiscriminate repression, institutional and state Violence, torture and war. Vincenzo Ruggiero discusses and critiques the contribution of criminological theory to understanding Political Violence. He draws on stimulating case studies to illustrate the theory, including interviews with former members of the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Brigate Rosse in Italy.The concluding chapter examines the recent development of a criminology of war and calls for a general ceasefire and the criminalisation of war, the most extreme form of institutional Violence.This is essential reading for students and researchers in criminology, Political studies, sociology, and war and conflict studies. This book, published in 2006, is now available in Italian and a Spanish and a Russian edition will soon be available.
