Research not Stereotypes

These pages look at the similarities and differences between armed groups as diverse as child soldiers, gangs, drug cartels, para-militaries, fundamentalist religious militias, and death squads. They are mainly based on research from a ten nation study, neither War nor Peace, and case studies from the Social Science Research Council Working Group on Children in Armed Conflict.
