  • Summary

    This chapter explains who is most likely to become victims of violence. It starts by explaining how social proximity to perpetrators or victims of violence could increase the likelihood of being targeted with violence. Then, it discusses how dangerous locations can reinforce the danger of dangerous connections. Finally, it uses interview data to examine its argument. It finds that social proximity to perpetrators in particular increases the likelihood of having violent experiences. Social networks that provide access to information about security conditions and ties to members of the Nusra Front combine to increase the likelihood of witnessing violence.
