Genocide is one of the most heinous crimes against humanity. It is the intentional destruction of a group of people based on their race, ethnicity, religion, or other characteristics. Genocide has been committed throughout history, and it continues to occur today.

The psychology of genocide is a complex and challenging field of study. Researchers have sought to understand what motivates people to commit genocide, how bystanders can be complicit in genocide, and what factors lead some people to rescue victims of genocide.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the research on the psychology of genocide. It examines the different theories that have been proposed to explain genocide, and it presents new insights into the factors that contribute to this crime.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the psychology of genocide perpetrators. It explores the different motivations that can lead people to commit genocide, and it discusses the role of ideology, propaganda, and social conditioning in genocide.

The second part of the book examines the psychology of bystanders. It explores the different reasons why people may choose to remain passive in the face of genocide, and it discusses the role of fear, apathy, and self-interest in bystander behavior.

The third part of the book examines the psychology of rescuers. It explores the different factors that can motivate people to rescue victims of genocide, and it discusses the role of empathy, altruism, and courage in rescuer behavior.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the psychology of genocide. It provides a comprehensive overview of the research on this topic, and it offers new insights into the factors that contribute to this crime.
