“…That violence can spill over to a bystander is, moreover, illustrated by situations where a random bystander is hit by a bullet intended for someone else, e.g., as part of a gang-related drive-by shooting (Hutson, Anglin, and Eckstein 1996). In theoretical terms, victimization as a spillover process is to be expected on the basis of Collins' (2008) view that excessively violent situations arise from a perpetrator's elevated emotions of tension and fear being released into an unstoppable, frenzied attack (Weenink 2014). This dynamic, described as forward panic, unfolds in a temporarily uncontrolled manner and can thus lead to a "spillover of forward panic" (Collins 2008: 95), entailing attacks on uninvolved, random or, we hypothesize, intervening third parties.…”
