U.S. Political Violence: Who Drives It?

American Marketing Association

A researcher from The Pennsylvania State University published a commentary in the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing that examines four key contemporary "drivers" of political violence in the United States: "toxic" political polarization; "toxic" identity-based ideologies; assaults on democratic norms; and disinformation and conspiracy theories. The article also discusses some ideas about how to curb the influence of these drivers and reduce political violence.

The study is titled "Drivers of Political Violence in the United States" and is authored by James A. Piazza.
