Abstract
Description
Several years ago we suggested looking at the notion of organizations as victims and illustrated it in the massive racial civil disturbances in the United States from 1964 through 1969 (Dynes and Quarantell, 1970). This paper updates and extends that earlier preliminary version in a number of ways. We include a wider range of data, pay more attention to the difference among the various disturbances as well as the range of illegal activity undertaken in them, and generally attempt a more systematic theoretical examination of organizational victimology on a mass scale.
