Perpetrator Dehumanization

Perpetrator Dehumanization is a theoretical construct within Perpetrator Studies that designates the psychological and social process through which individuals or groups who commit harmful acts are stripped of inherently human qualities, thereby differentiating them from normative conceptions of moral agency by attributing subhuman or inhumane characteristics.
