Book excerpt: Mass violence can be defined as an intentional violent criminal act that results in physical, emotional or psychological injury to a large number of people. One of the most common ways in which mass violence can manifest is through mass shootings. Terrorist bombs, mass riots, aircraft/transportation hijackings, and bioterrorism attacks are some other ways in which individuals can cause mass violence. It is unpredictable and is not as common as other crimes. Therefore, in an event of mass violence, it is possible for victims to feel emotionally distressed. There are some common responses to incidents of mass violence such as overwhelming anxiety, trouble sleeping, and other depression-like symptoms. Human rights, law, and legal institutions serve as an important means for protecting all those who face abuse, neglect, and isolation. They aim to consider the appropriate legal responses for dealing with perpetrators and also meeting the needs of victims and survivors. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core aspects of human rights and criminal law with respect to mass violence. For all readers who are interested in studying human rights and criminal law, it will serve as an excellent guide for developing a comprehensive understanding.
