Summary

Political leaders have been targeted by assassins for thousands of years – Donald Trump being the latest example, after the attempt on his life in Pennsylvania. Historically, what impact have these actions had on societies the world over? What similarities are there between these acts and the people who carry them out? Jacob Jarvis is joined by Arie Perliger, professor in security studies at University of Massachusetts Lowell and author of American Zealots: Inside Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism, to discuss the history of political killings – and how we can prevent them. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
