Welcome to the Network’s collaborative annotated bibliography!

Work on this bibliography began in the Spring of 2017 with the aim of producing a comprehensive, searchable, dynamic, and user-friendly bibliography of perpetrator studies as a field. This is a collaborative effort, and we encourage you to submit entries for any text that you consider to be important for the field. These can be everything from “canonical” texts or more specialised texts on specific cases and contexts. Ultimately, the ambition is to have a “map” of the field.

If you would like to submit an entry please provide the following information in the submission form:

1. Short title
   Last name, first name. Short Title (year)
2. Short description
   A very short description of ca. 10 words or 60-70 characters
3. Description
   A longer description of ca. 100-200 words, summarising the argument and giving a sense of the text’s relevance or significance.
4. Full citation
   Please provide full citation in Chicago style.
5. Link
   If applicable and useful, please provide a link (e.g. to the publisher’s website or the DOI for articles, etc.)
6. Type
   Please specify the type.
7. Keywords
   Please add a number of relevant keywords to make the entry searchable (at least 3)

All entries will be moderated before publication on the site.
