Lowest of the low: Why some countries suffer terrorist attacks against schools
The purpose of this research was to investigate whether terrorist attacks against schools and other educational institutions were more common in states with little respect for human rights for a sample of 75 countries from 1981–2010 using the Global Terrorism Database. Specifically, we examined whether religious repression by governments, state terrorism against civilians and female political and economic empowerment would influence attacks again…

The classic social disorganization perspective posits that individuals experiencing these types of rapid social change will be freed from the in…
