Within sociology and criminology the dominant view is that genocide and other mass atrocities are committed by technologically-lobotomized perpetrators. Somehow the process of rationalization is believed to have transformed these people from emotionally healthy people into hollow soulless shells of human beings or zombies, devoid of a full range of normal emotions. However it is difficult to imagine crime without emotions. There is, therefore, a need to revisit existing assumptions around the role of emotions in mass atrocities. This book rehumanizes perpetrators of mass atrocities.
