Explosive Conflict : Time-Dynamics of Violence
This sequel to Randall Collins' world-influential micro-sociology of violence introduces the question of time-dynamics: what determines how long conflict lasts and how much damage it does.Inequality and hostility are not enough to explain when and where violence breaks out.Time-dynamics are the time-bubbles when people are most nationalistic; the hours after a protest starts when violence is most likely to happen.Ranging from the three months of nationalism and hysteria after 9/11 to the assault on the Capitol in 2021, Randall Collins shows what makes some protests more violent than others and why some revolutions are swift and non-violent tipping-points while others devolve into lengthy civil wars.Winning or losing are emotional processes, continuing in the era of computerized war, while high-tech spawns terrorist tactics of hiding in the civilian population and using cheap features of the Internet as substitutes for military organization.Nevertheless, Explosive Conflict offers some optimistic discoveries on clues to mass rampages and heading off police atrocities, with practical lessons from time-dynamics of violence.

Is the violence in Stuttgart a result of the Corona crisis?
The violence in Stuttgart is not directly caused by the Corona crisis. The unrest in Stuttgart was sparked by a police check on drug offenses, which escalated into clashes between the police and a large crowd of young people. While the economic and social impacts of the Corona crisis may have contributed to the tensions and frustrations that led to the violence, it is not the sole cause. The underlying issues of inequality, youth unemployment, and social discontent likely played a more significant role in the outbreak of violence.

Prison Violence : The Dynamics of Conflict, Fear and Power
Prisons are dangerous places, and assaults, threats, theft and verbal abuse are pervasive - attributable both to the characteristics of the captive population and to an institutional sub culture which promotes violence as a means of resolving conflicts.Yet the crimes perpetrated by prisoners on other prisoners have attracted little interest, and criminological research has contributed little to an understanding of situations in which violence arises in penal institutions.This book seeks to remedy this, and to address and answer a number of key questions: how do features of the prison social setting shape conflicts?; what social norms guide the decision to use violence?; what are the personal and social consequences of spending months or years in places where distrust and anxiety are normal?; how do staff respond to the dangers that are part of daily life in many prisons?; is it possible to identify factors associated with risk and resilience?; and what methods of handling conflicts do prisoners use that could prevent violence?Prison Violence adopts a distinctive approach to answering these questions, and is based on extensive research, including interviews with both victims and perpetrators of prison violence; it pioneers a conflict-centred approach, seeking to understand the pathways into and out of situations where there is potential for violence, focusing on interpersonal and institutional dynamics rather than on individual psychological factors.
