Description
Anthony Ellis, Simon Winlow, and Daniel Briggs open in 2026 a journal collection on understanding violence with new data and theory. Violence both terrifies and fascinates, a modern obsession in news and entertainment alike. The collection spans physical, structural, and symbolic forms across the Americas and Europe.
The editors weigh a live scholarly fight: whether violence is falling over the long run. One famed claim holds that we live in the most peaceable era yet, based on counted rates. Critics counter that measures miss hidden and structural harms. Twentieth-century industrial slaughter haunts the debate. The issue gathers fresh data and theory to move it forward, region by region and form by form.
