Rebellion, Violence and Revolution: A Rational Choice Perspective

There are many revolts, fewer successful revolts, and a few social revolution. First, we examine the relative frequency of the elite and mass rebellion. Since the rational choice method seems to be easy to explain the elite rebellion and the deprivation law seems to be suitable for the interpretation of a large scale rebellion, the relative frequency of these two revolutions contributes to rational choice. Second, a small group rebellion is related to military problems such as loyalty and failure of war. Military defeat in war is not necessary or sufficient for the success of the rebellion, but may still enhance that possibility. Thirdly, some people think that the link between international competition and rulership of rulers and the big revolution due to rebellious encouragement is consistent with rational choice. As it is very important in the revolution, nationalism and religious fanatics need to be integrated into a reasonable choice of rebellion and revolution.

Many features of a rational choice perspective make it particularly suitable as a "meta theory" of criminal science, which plays a wide range of roles in explaining various criminal phenomena. A reasonable choice can explain many different factors; it is wide enough to apply not only to crime but also to everyday life. In this investigation, an attacker interviewed on the selection of motivation, method, and goal. Investigation included thief (1980, Maguire 1982; Cromwell et al., 1991), Bank and Commercial Robbers (Criminal Statistical Research Bureau, New South Wales State, 1987; Nugent et al., 1989) and perpetration using violence (Morrison and O) Donnell, 1996). The viewpoint of rational choice provides a framework for organizing such information so that individual research yields more general benefits.
