Perceived Deterrence in Crime and War

Quest for Limited Integration*

The author is Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of Latin American Studies at Villanova University, PA, USA.

One can integrate the perceptual properties of deterrence as they are currently understood in the research on crime and conventional war. Some perceptual properties of crime deterrence, such as ‘self-serving biases’ and ‘impulsive behaviors’ can be applied to explain conventional war deterrence. Further a number of variables, such as ‘internal politics,’ ‘external pressure,’ ‘fundamentalism,’ and ‘new world view’ may explain much more of the variance in perception than the variables frequently used in conventional war research. Further research on integrating the major properties of deterrence in both crime and war is suggested.
