This study examines and explains the complexity of violence by analyzing interviews from participants in an incident of crowd violence and interviews with a perpetrator of apartheid-sponsored atrocities. In the first part of the dissertation, the author examines an incident of a "necklace" murder, a brutal form of murder popularized in the height of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa during the mid-1980s. The dissertation goes to the heart of crowd brutality, and unravels the incremental steps that tip the scales toward the unspeakable acts that are often perpetrated by crowds. The author uses a range of social psychological theories, weaving in psychoanalytic group theory to elucidate the complex nature of extreme forms of violence in crowds. The second part of the dissertation is based on 43 hours of interviews with Eugene de Kock, who is serving 212 years and two life sentences for the crimes he committed as head of apartheid government's covert operations. The author traces the influences that shaped de Kock from his family to his superiors and to a society sustained by a violent political system. The author uses psychoanalytic and object relations concepts to explain some of the vexing questions in the study of perpetrators of atrocities. The dissertation adds a unique component with an investigation of remorse as a catalyst for pronouncements of forgiveness by victims.
