Feminist scholars have long posited that the existence of a public/private divide functions todepoliticise male violence against women and place it beyond the realm of stateintervention. The fact that public and private violence are conceptualised so differently alsofunctions to obscure any relationship that may exist between them. However, persuasiveanecdotal evidence suggests that the perpetration of domestic abuse and public terrorattacks may in fact be linked: Out of seven 2017 UK attackers, for instance, four were knownto have experienced or perpetrated domestic abuse; A brief survey of other attacks -including Nice, the Boston Marathon, Pulse Nightclub, Lindt Café and Charlie Hebdo -indicates a pattern. Despite this evidence, no systematic research exists to investigate apotential link between such acts of mass public violence and domestic abuse. Instead, muchanalysis rests on the heavily racialised 'terrorism' paradigm, which obscures similaritiesbetween 'terroristic' behaviours and myriad other forms of violence that are commonplacewithin patriarchal structures. In obscuring these similarities, such analysis cannot accountfor how 'public' and 'private' violence intersect. Drawing on the approach of narrativecriminologists such as Lois Presser, Shadd Maruna and Sveinung Sandberg, this research willaddress that gap in analysis. Using in-depth case studies and subject-led interviews, it willinvestigate what the relationship between 'private' and 'public' violence might be from theperspective of those who perpetrate both by exploring the violent histories of so-called'Islamist' offenders, far-right offenders and those who have committed gang violence. Indoing so, it will seek to understand the worldviews behind these perpetrators' criminogenicdecisions and their own understanding of the escalation of their violence into the publicsphere. By better understanding perpetrators' perspectives, we can potentially learn cruciallessons in how to prevent further violence, with significant implications for questions ofnational security and for the urgency of concerted action to address domestic abuse.

女权主义学者长期以来一直认为，公共/私人鸿沟的存在使男性对女性的暴力行为非政治化，并将其置于国家干预的范围之外。公共暴力和私人暴力的概念如此不同的事实也掩盖了它们之间可能存在的任何关系。然而，令人信服的轶事证据表明，实施家庭暴力和公共恐怖袭击实际上可能是有联系的：例如，在2017年的7名英国袭击者中，有4人已知经历或犯过家庭暴力；对其他袭击--包括尼斯、波士顿马拉松、Pulse夜总会、林特咖啡馆和《查理周刊》--的简要调查显示了一个模式。尽管有这些证据，但没有系统的研究来调查这种大规模公共暴力行为和家庭暴力之间的潜在联系。相反，很多分析都依赖于严重种族主义的“恐怖主义”范式，它模糊了“恐怖主义”行为与父权结构中常见的无数其他形式的暴力之间的相似之处。在掩盖这些相似之处的同时，这种分析无法解释“公共”和“私人”暴力是如何相互交织的。这项研究借鉴了洛伊斯·普雷瑟、沙德·马鲁纳和斯维农·桑德伯格等叙事犯罪学家的方法，将解决分析中的这一差距。它将利用深入的案例研究和以受试者为主导的访谈，从那些通过探索所谓的伊斯兰罪犯、极右翼罪犯和那些实施帮派暴力的人的暴力历史的角度，调查“私人”暴力和“公共”暴力之间的关系。在这样做的过程中，它将设法了解这些肇事者犯罪决定背后的世界观，以及他们自己对其暴力行为升级为公共领域的理解。通过更好地了解施暴者的观点，我们有可能在如何防止进一步暴力方面学到至关重要的教训，这对国家安全问题和采取协调一致行动解决家庭暴力的紧迫性具有重大影响。
