Killology

Killology is the study of how humans develop, experience, and manage the desire or ability to kill, often focusing on military, law enforcement, and criminal behavior. It explores psychological, physiological, and environmental factors that influence aggressive and lethal actions, aiming to understand the mindset and conditions that lead to such acts. The field seeks to improve training, effectiveness, and ethical decision-making in high-stakes situations, while also addressing the mental health impacts on individuals involved. In essence, Killology examines the complex human aspects involved in lethal force to promote responsible and informed practices.
