Scholarly Peer-review Political Violence Journal

Political violence is violence perpetrated by people or governments to attain political goals. It will describe violence used by a state against other states (war) or against non-state actors (most notably police brutality or genocide). It may also describe politically-motivated violence by non-state actors territory.

Due to the imbalances of power between state and non-state actors, political violence usually takes the shape of asynchronous against a state (rebellion, rioting, treason or coup d'etat) or against other non-state actors. Nonaction on the a part of a government may also be characterised as a kind of political violence, like refusing to alleviate famine or otherwise denying resources to politically identifiable  groups within their warfare wherever neither aspect is ready to directly assault the opposite, instead relying on techniques like terrorism and guerrilla warfare, and often include attacks on civilian or otherwise non-combatant targets that are perceived as a proxy for the opposing faction.
