===Institutional violence=== Institutional violence is a form of structural violence in which organizations employ attitudes, beliefs, practices, and policies to marginalize or exploit vulnerable groups.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Turvey |first1=Brent E. |last2=Coronado |first2=Aurelio |last3=Baltazar |first3=Karla Valeria |title=Criminal profiling: An introduction to behavioral evidence analysis |date=2022 |publisher=Academic Press |location= |isbn=978-0-12-815583-7 |edition=5th |chapter=Integrated Forensic Assessments: A Psychosocial Approach With the Human Rights Perspective |doi=10.1016/C2017-0-03508-5}}</ref> Rossiter and Rinaldi (2018) argue that the structural elements manifest as organizational traits that enable the reconstruction of one's sense of inhumane behavior (e.g., moral justification), its deleterious effects (e.g., minimizing), the responsibility for its impact (e.g., denial), and the subject harmed (e.g., [[dehumanization]]), which leads to moral abdication and thus create an ethos of violence.<ref name=rrabdic>{{cite book |last1=Rossiter |first1=Kate |last2=Rinaldi |first2=Jennifer |title=Institutional violence and disability: Punishing conditions |date=2018 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781351022828 |chapter=The Institutional Cases and the conditions for moral abdication}}</ref> One example highlighted by the authors is the social or physical distance between organizations and the broader society, which serves as a key mechanism in sustaining such violence.<ref name=rrabdic/>
