Abstract
Interpersonal Violence in Disaster. Disaster sociologists have long claimed that antisocial behavior in disasters is rare. In this chapter, we investigate this claim by examining the types of interpersonal violence that have occurred in disaster. Importantly, we focus on all phases of disaster, warning, impact, emergency, and recovery and reconstruction, to fully observe these crimes. We find evidence for murder, hate crimes, rape and sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence in disaster. We contend that routine activity and GSTs are useful in understanding interpersonal violence in disaster, and we provide prescriptions for prevention that are rooted in these theories.
