The topic of perpetrator disgust-the tendency for perpetrators to recoil in horror from the atrocities that they have committed-has been a grossly under-researched subject, but one that that is crucial for understanding genocide, dehumanization, and moral psychology more generally. As the first extended scholarly treatment of this phenomenon, Perpetrator Disgust is a landmark accomplishment that will be an indispensable resource for scholars for years and decades to come.
