These four case studies depict that regardless of civilian prosperity, perceived national security, and geographic location, civilians are increasingly vulnerable to attack due to increased interconnectivity. Their vulnerability and the victimization that follows is analyzed according to Spini’s Vulnerability Framework, which is used to investigate the resources, stressors, outcomes, and contexts of civilians throughout their respective attacks. Upon demonstrating these vulnerabilities, this project concludes with suggestions for further research and means to reduce civilian vulnerability and victimization moving forward.
