James E. Waller serves as Professor and Chair of the Psychology Department at Whitworth College, USA. As a social psychologist, he specializes in the study of genocide, mass violence, and the psychological underpinnings of extraordinary human evil.
His research spans several key areas in social psychology and genocide studies:
- Social Psychology
- Genocide Studies
- Mass Violence
- Psychology of Evil
Waller's seminal work, 'Becoming Evil: How Ordinary People Commit Genocide and Mass Murder' (Second Edition, 2007), presents a comprehensive model integrating evolutionary, psychological, and situational factors to explain how ordinary individuals become perpetrators of genocide. The book analyzes historical cases through eyewitness accounts and reworks theoretical frameworks to emphasize evolutionary perspectives in understanding human evil.
