| Zusammenfassung: | There is a burgeoning literature on the aetiology, performance and consequences of violence. Research straddles a variety of disciplines including law, sociology, psychology, anthropology, criminology, military history and theology.

This article serves as a critical introduction to violentization and draws on a range of source material not usually found in criminological research to test the limits of Athens's approach |
