3. 2. Role Expectations as Motivators of Mass Violence Perpetration : A Normative Approach to Understanding Perpetrator Behaviour During the Yugoslav Wars from 1991–1995

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Hugo Valentin-centrum

   Author : Otilia Rehnström; [2023]
   Keywords : Yugoslav Wars 1991-1995; Perpetrator behaviour; role expectations; social norms; role strain; role conflict;
