复杂的决策链导致了像格伦费尔大厦火灾这样的灾难，这并不容易被描述为“暴力”。在大众意识和社会学中，“暴力”在很大程度上仍然被理解为一种人际现象，是故意造成伤害的结果。这主要是因为我们对暴力的理解总是与法律概念和原则联系在一起。在本文中，我们认为格伦费尔火灾是由一种我们称之为制度暴力的集体决策形式产生的；它反映了一种暴力形式的常规秩序和超然管理，这种暴力形式与更阴险地以目标群体和人口为目标密切相关，其方式产生并增加了发生其他持续暴力情况的可能性。
The complex chains of decisions that produce disasters like the Grenfell Tower fire are not readily described as ‘violence’. ‘Violence’ is something that remains largely understood in popular consciousness, and in sociology, as an interpersonal phenomenon, and as the result of a deliberate attempt to cause harm. This is largely because our understanding of violence is always somehow connected to legal concepts and principles. In this article, we argue that the Grenfell fire was produced by a form of collective decision-making that we describe as institutional violence; it reflects the routine order and detached administration of a form of violence that is intimately connected to a more insidious targeting of subject groups and populations in ways that produce and increase the likelihood of other, ongoing, violent circumstances occurring.
