Jared Edgerton

Jared Edgerton studies political violence, genocide, and conflict, with particular attention to how family and social ties (such as sibling or kin relationships) shape participation in violence, including in cases like the Rwandan genocide, suicide bombing networks, and Islamic State recruitment. His work also touches on international cooperation between states and, in earlier research, on criminal justice topics like prisoner recidivism. Methodologically, this work draws on network analysis and quantitative social science approaches applied to conflict and crime data.

Publication output has been variable over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2020 followed by a more steady pace of 2-4 papers per year through 2024.
