Abstract: | How do we think about mass murder? While the principle of responsibilityprovides an effective mechanism for the repression of mass murder(notably through Article 25 ICCSt.), analysis of the actingout of mass murder by perpetrators requires a criminologicalperspective. Analysis of criminogenic processes, and of genocidallogic, helps us go some way in understanding how perpetratorsact out mass murder. Such an approach also leadsus to identify a long silence in the social sciences: mass murderhas become a legitimate field of social scientific study onlyrecently; it also has the advantage of exposing the shortcomingsof many concepts. This article deals with works focusing onmass murder and suggests new research paths inthe social sciences. |
